SUNRISE and Huawei announced indoor 5G deployments at multiple venues, including Sunrise shops, hotels and an exhibition hall during the 10th Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) in Zurich, Switzerland.

This is the first batch of commercial indoor 5G networks in Switzerland and Europe using the Huawei 5G LampSite solution.

Sunrise and Huawei have jointly deployed 5G in the Zurich Marriott hotel, a Holiday Inn hotel and the Zurich exhibition hall using the Huawei 5G LampSite solution. With the empowerment of the 5G indoor network, global attendees have enjoyed supreme 5G experiences at the hotel and many innovative applications such as cloud gaming and cloud VR during the MBBF event. 5G LampSite, which features digital headend “pRRU” and IT cabling, is easy to install and prepared for long-term evolution. It has been and will continue to serve as an integral part to Sunrise’s 5G network.

Michael Martin, director of Radio Transport and Service Management at Sunrise, said: “5G will bring huge benefits to society. As the leading 5G operator in Switzerland, Sunrise aims to provide the best 5G experience to our customers and generate new business for enterprises. Since a big portion of traffic is naturally happening indoor, we are very happy to be able to deploy the Huawei LampSite solution in order to provide supreme 5G services indoors.”

Marvin Chen, president of Huawei DIS product line, said: “Sunrise is a 5G pioneer in Switzerland and Europe. The 5G LampSite deployments in the exhibition hall and hotels in Zurich powerfully showcase that indoor 5G is becoming part of the main strategy of operators.”
