How is POST going to deploy the 5G network in Luxembourg?
POST Luxembourg is investing in the development of the “Network of the future”, which includes fixed networks, including fiber optics, as well as the current mobile network.
Over the next years, 4G and 5G technologies will both be available on the mobile network. POST estimates that the overall investment in 5G will be tens of millions of euros over the next decade.
In accordance with the requirements of new frequency licences, POST will install the first 5G coverage cluster in Luxembourg City before the end of 2020. It will then be extended gradually to cover, eventually, the entire country.
As with 4G, POST will develop specific 5G roaming agreements so that its customers can enjoy it anywhere in Europe.
