Speedy Connectivity in Switzerland
-- -

In a country known for making exquisitely accurate watches and clocks, it's not surprising that Switzerland's trains would be on time, not to mention speedy and efficient as well.

The country's biggest travel and transport company, SBB, accounts for more than 87 percent of all passenger train travel, and chances are that if you're zipping through the countryside or pulling into an urban station, you'll be able to nab some connectivity before the next connection. Courtesy of the Swisscomm Mobile footprint, and iPass technology, more than 30 percent of the SBB stations are Wi-Fi hotspots.

Other iPass venues bring the country's access point tally to more than 1,700 locations nationwide, including airports, more than 500 hotels like the Sheraton and Grand Hotels and numerous restaurants like Coop Restaurants. Also Wi-Fi enabled are casinos, campgrounds, ESSO gas stations and many more locations.

With so much connectivity available, why not take a bit of extra time and explore the country while getting some work done? Officially known as the Swiss Federation, the country has three distinct regions where German, French, and Italian are spoken, and several of the world's largest companies are headquartered within its borders: Nestle, UBS AG, Novartis, ABB and Credit Suisse.

Business travelers and tourists alike come to admire the beauty of its mountain peaks—and get in some skiing along the way—as well as its lush green landscapes and fresh, clean air. Of course, enjoying all that while eating Switzerland's famous cheese and chocolate make the trip even more memorable. So, grab a train, plane or automobile and see some Swiss vistas, without having to give up connectivity (or your love of cheese).
