About WLAN AG

WLAN-Partner.com AG, which has operated under the name onway ag since early 2021, is a Swiss-based company specializing in robust network solutions for business-critical applications. Founded in 2004, the firm initially focused on designing, building, and maintaining high-performance WLAN networks in challenging environments. The rebranding to onway reflects the company's expanded technological scope beyond just WLAN to include other mobile communication technologies like 5G, Bluetooth, Lora, and Zigbee.

The company's business model centers on providing comprehensive communication solutions tailored to specific operational and industry requirements. A primary market is the public transportation sector, where onway equips vehicles and stations with stable, high-performance internet access for passengers. Notable clients in this area include SBB (Swiss Federal Railways) and PostBus, demonstrating a strong foothold in the Swiss transport market. Beyond passenger Wi-Fi, the company's communication platform offers transport companies centralized management of their vehicle systems, which helps to reduce hardware needs and operational costs.

The service portfolio extends to other sectors requiring dependable connectivity, such as hospitals, hotels, conference centers, large corporations, and public institutions. The company serves over one hundred major clients, including the University Hospital of Zurich and the retailer Migros. Onway provides solutions for Network Access Control (NAC) and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) management, deploying thousands of its proprietary routers and managing tens of thousands of access points for its clients. The business generates revenue by delivering and installing these systems as a system integrator and offering ongoing maintenance and support services.
