WASHINGTON-Swisscom, formerly Swiss Telecom, announced it will implement a new mobile telephone network in the 1800 MHz frequency range using Global System for Mobile communications technology.
The company is expecting to provide service to as many as 1 million people by the end of the century, said Lisa Robertson, vice president of corporate development for Swisscom N.A.
The new network will complement the existing GSM 900 service, with dual-band phones available to switch between the networks, said the company.
