Salt Mobile SA (officially stylized as Salt.) is a Swiss telecommunications provider focusing on mobile telephony and fiber-optic land-line services. It operates the third-largest mobile network in the country, with 17% market share.
The merger with Sunrise Communications AG was prohibited by the Swiss competition authority Weko in April 2010.[5] Salt began as the Swiss subsidiary of Orange S.A.. Later, in 2012, it was sold to the British investment company, Apax Partners.[6] It continued to license and operate under the Orange name until 2015, when the company was sold by Apax Partners to NJJ Capital of Xavier Niel and the Salt brand launched.
