Switzerland’s Sunrise to launch UHD set-top box in 2016

Swiss service provider Sunrise is due to launch a new 4K Ultra HD-enabled set-top box in the first quarter of 2016.

Sunrise said that the new box will be “much faster” than the current TV box generation, will allow for the WLAN transmission of content and has a modern-look and a Bluetooth remote control.

“Together with the ultra-fast Sunrise Internet box, the new UHD set-top box represents a further milestone in the development of our Sunrise Smart TV offer,” said Timm Degenhardt, chief marketing officer (CMO) at Sunrise.

“With it, we are consistently implementing the innovation strategy for our customers’ benefit. We aim to offer an internet connection, TV experience and mobile network at the highest level from a single source and at attractive prices.”
