Broadband atlas
The broadband atlas shows the broadband network coverage situation in Switzerland. The maps provide information on both fixed network connections and the availability of mobile communication networks. Starting with the update in early June 2026, the Broadband Atlas is being enhanced to better reflect the actual broadband coverage of fixed networks. The calculation methodology is being adjusted so that only buildings containing residential or business units will be considered in the future.
