Our network
The Netherlands’ digital highway
Thanks to fixed and mobile networks, cloud solutions, social media and apps, we are connected to everything and everyone. Private and commercial. Wherever and whenever we want. We are Dutch to the core. Our reliable networks reach every corner of the country. This way, we ensure a fast, secure and future-proof connection.
Mobile networks
The whole world within your grasp
Do what you want to do, wherever and whenever it suits you. Since the arrival of our first GSM network in 1993, we’ve been connecting the Netherlands via mobiles. Today, the rapid 4G network gives customers worry-free access to the online world. And now 5G is added. A future-proof, safe and reliable revolution with numerous possibilities. From 2022, everyone will be able to experience the full potential of the fifth-generation mobile internet connection.
FUTURE-PROOF NETWORK
5G: the next step in mobile connection
This fifth-generation mobile internet connection technology will ensure that we can continue to surf the internet at high speed in the years to come, with more simultaneous users. KPN will guide you on this journey into the future and keep you informed of developments for setting up the 5G network in the Netherlands.
Fixed network
Modern for more than a century
KPN’s fixed network has been proving its strength for more than a century. It’s ubiquitous and it connects large parts of the Netherlands. Fiber forms the basis. As a result of new discoveries, we’re constantly modernizing the fixed network. This enables us to process the ever-increasing amount of data. This way, the whole of the Netherlands benefits from high-grade broadband internet that is fast, stable and secure.
YouTube series shows evolution of our network
How the network operates
The iconic dial-up sound still invokes nostalgic feelings. But a great deal has changed. Technology has made substantial advances. So we have continually developed our network to the point we are at today: fast, stable fiber. In the YouTube series “Hoe het net werkt” (How the network operates), presenter Luuk Dresen discusses the evolution of our network with a variety of tech and multimedia experts. Where we started, what the situation is today, and what the future holds.
Network in focus
Frequently invisible, always indispensable
You can’t always see it, but KPN’s network is everywhere, all the time. From fiber to mobile networks, from copper connections to DAB+. With our infrastructure, we’re keeping the Netherlands connected, every day. And it looks like this.
The cloud
Unlimited access, unlimited freedom
KPN believes that technology removes barriers. That’s why we’re investing in the power of the cloud. Every document and program within your grasp. All the time, anywhere and on every device. Seamlessly and without obstacles. That way, you determine yourself how you work, how you live and who you share that with.
Internet of Things
Talking devices
provide valuable insights
Cars are getting smarter and safer, companies are managing their stocks more
efficiently and online drug dispensers signal when a user forgets to take his pills. The
physical world is becoming rapidly connected: that is the Internet of Things. KPN developed
the LoRa network to ensure that devices can send information quickly and reliably.
