On the 1st of April, Proximus became the first operator in Belgium to launch its 5G services, with initial coverage of more than 30 communes across the country.
To achieve this, Proximus uses spectrum in existing spectrum holdings and deploys on existing antennas. The launch is accompanied by the creation of its ‘Mobilus 5G Unlimited’ plan - the first unlimited bundle in the Belgian market, priced at just €49.99 per month - along with enterprise and wholesale offers, as well as the commercialization of the OPPO Find X2 pro, the very first 5G-enabled device on any Belgian network.
At the same time, Proximus is also accelerating its Fiber roll-out program, aimed at connecting an extra 800,000 homes by 2025, and around 1 million by 2026, compared to its initial plan. Proximus is advancing its investments to guarantee a faster and more efficient fiber roll-out, while also seeking partners willing to co-operate or co-invest. With this acceleration, Proximus aims at connecting 2.4 million homes to fiber by 2025, instead of 2030. As of now, the Proximus Fiber network is already Giga Fast, with the launch of its 1Gbps fiber option at 15€/month.
