Proximus has taken a significant step in the evolution of mobile connectivity by launching Belgium’s first standalone (SA) 5G network, marking a shift toward more advanced and flexible infrastructure.
Unlike non-standalone 5G, which relies partly on existing 4G networks, standalone 5G operates on a fully independent architecture. This enables improved performance, including lower latency, higher reliability, and the ability to support a broader range of advanced use cases such as IoT, edge computing, and network slicing.
With this rollout, Proximus is positioning itself at the forefront of next-generation connectivity in Belgium. The standalone network is expected to unlock new opportunities for both consumers and enterprises, particularly in areas requiring real-time responsiveness and enhanced network capabilities.
The move also reflects a broader industry transition, as telecom operators across Europe gradually migrate from hybrid 5G deployments to fully standalone infrastructures. This evolution is seen as a key enabler for future digital services, from smart cities to industrial automation.
By investing in standalone 5G, Proximus aims to strengthen its technological leadership while laying the groundwork for innovative applications that go beyond traditional mobile broadband.
