Scouts @lightspeed

This year, after 14 years, a Swiss National Jamboree will take place again between July 23 and August 6.

Not only some of our employees are spending their summer "vacations" at the camp as helpers, but also some of our routers are actively helping.

With the support of various companies, we as a co-partner have organized several kilometers of fiber optic cable in the run-up to the national camp, and during the camp we provide a redundant Internet connection (several Gbps) for the more than 30,000 scouts. Extremely demanding logistics also require the appropriate communication channels, which are nowadays primarily realized via the Internet.

GTL for our emergency generators

For even cleaner emergency power operation

In the future, NTS will use GTL fuels as a replacement for the conventional oil-based fuels for the operation of the emergency power generators. Although the diesel generators only have a few operating hours per year - mostly for test runs - we would also like to further optimize this process and make it more environmentally friendly. This is in addition to the measures already installed, such as particulate filters and fuel-water emulsion systems.

GTL is a synthetic fuel derived from natural gas. It burns cleaner than conventional diesel fuel, helping to reduce local emissions such as particulates, nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). GTL also has significantly lower levels of aromatics, olefins, sulfur and nitrogen.

Commissioning of new photovoltaic plant

Step by step for more renewable energy

NTS continues to invest in sustainability. Today our third and so far largest PV plant with about 300 kW peak went online and was synchronized with the power grid of BKW for the first time. In the future, the installation will supply electricity for about 80 households.

Part of the energy is consumed by the farmer on whose roofs we were allowed to erect this installation. Other energy users are integrated in a ZEV (association for self-consumption).

The plant covers an area of 1500m2 distributed on four roofs. By means of three central inverters, the solar power is fed into the grid.
