Mobile network operators Orange, Sunrise and Swisscom will be installing more than 1,000 new antennas along Swiss railway lines over the next few months. This was reported by the Handelszeitung according to Blick am Abend on Wednesday. The operators want to plug the gaps in coverage. At the same time, they intend to prevent overloads so that connections are not lost. Swisscom spokesperson Olaf Schulze is quoted as saying that around 270 new sites will be put into operation this year in addition to the 5,300 existing antennas. Orange is planning 400 new antennas, while Sunrise is even planning 500 in 2009.
