Swisscom DevOps Center Riga

Every day, we are striving to provide 100% network coverage throughout Switzerland and 5G technology that transcends all boundaries.

This involves testing new applications from the very early stages with a view to optimising their time to market.

The goal: a network that remains Switzerland’s best network in the future.

• Top of Europe - The Swisscom network provides Switzerland with one of the best digital infrastructures in Europe.
• CHF 1.7 billion - A large part of Switzerland’s investment in digital infrastructure comes from Swisscom.
• 5G+ - Swisscom provides 99% coverage with 5G and 81% with even faster 5G+.
• 10,000 - Emergency calls go through our special network for emergency services every day.
• Switzerland-wide fibre-optic network - We want to connect 75 – 80% of all households with up to 10 Gbit/s by 2030.

We are making IT more secure, with a comprehensive infrastructure, a sustainable security culture and the latest technologies.

To fend off attacks, we employ artificial intelligence, which detects hazards and initiates countermeasures automatically.

This approach is clearly in evidence at Swisscom’s 24/7 Security Operations Center.

The goal: to offer the best protection for our customers, partners and Swisscom. Better safe than sorry: our Cybersecurity services

• Threat Detection and Response
• Network and Cloud Security
• Data and Content Security
• Application and Endpoint Security
• Security Consulting

With over 250 AI experts, we have one of the largest teams in Switzerland working on and researching new artificial intelligence applications.

We are particularly interested in the automatic evaluation of data and the insights it provides. One area of focus is the smart monitoring of (end-to-end) customer solutions.

The goal: to continuously improve our products and services and make them even more secure.

• Aim for end-to-end solutions - Start with the simplest solution until the end results, then start adding complexity iteratively if needed. Harmonize without constraints - Balance specific use-case requirements and
• Collaboration beyond your sector - Find support within the tech community, understand and learn about the end goal.

The Site Reliability Engineering approach to software development was initially introduced by Google and has since become standard practice.

At Swisscom, we are starting our SRE journey by establishing this approach internally. Implementing SRE is, in part, the responsibility of our Reliability Champions.

It has also involved the establishment of an SRE Community of Practice. The goal: high system availability and stability.

Our work goes far beyond our Public Cloud offering: we also develop and operate our own Private Cloud products.

A total of four complete Cloud platforms are being developed by our Cloud teams and managed for our customers.

Our teams also provide the infrastructure. What’s more, as part of our Cloud journey, we have also become a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

Interconnectivity with IoT We have greatly expanded our IoT portfolio based on state-of-the-art networking technologies such as NB-IoT, 4 and 5G as well as LoRaWan, which we also offer internationally.

The IoT tech team is also developing state-of-the-art solutions of all sizes and complexity and working with Cloud providers such as Azure or AWS whilst also providing Data Science and Machine Learning services. The goal: today’s solutions for tomorrow's business.
