Swissnet

What Swissnet does

Swissnet Group (legal entity swissnet ag) is a Switzerland-headquartered private provider of digital infrastructure and connectivity solutions for multi-site enterprises, founded in 2006. The company delivers an integrated portfolio across four core product areas — CloudWiFi (enterprise WLAN with real-time insights and automated marketing), Connected Infrastructure (ICT and connectivity services), IT-Security, and Media Solutions (digital signage and conference technology) — augmented by specialized offerings including IoT SIM connectivity, a Guest Room Management System, the macsarena hotspot system, and proprietary EoC (Ethernet over Coax) technology that enables retrofit deployments without new cabling. Its solutions are positioned primarily for hospitality, retail, and healthcare verticals, with growing exposure to smart-city and shopfitting use cases.

The customer base includes enterprise accounts such as Hilton, Accor, InterContinental, Robinson Club, Mövenpick, Primestar Group, Adidas, Müller Holding (telephony across ~1,000 stores), Kaufland, Tipico, ECE, Cotidiano, and Vitanas, alongside a strategic co-sell partnership with Deutsche Telekom. Swissnet operates across Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates, with reported metrics of 20,000+ WiFi hotspots, 1,000+ installation locations, and 120,000+ active monthly users. Recent 2026 contract activity includes an AED ~5M Abu Dhabi hospitality project with a global building management manufacturer, a 1,700-card IoT SIM expansion with a major European shopfitting company, and a framework agreement covering ~50 intelligent Smart Pole systems with German lighting and global video surveillance partners.

Swissnet generates revenue through a combination of recurring managed services (subscription-based CloudWiFi, connectivity, IT security), hardware/device sales (network equipment, IoT SIM cards), and project-based professional services for enterprise deployments, with quote-based pricing on multi-year contracts. GTM combines direct enterprise field sales, channel partners and system integrators (notably Deutsche Telekom), and select DTC project engagement in international markets. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed; the company is privately held with no public listing identified.
