Over the next six years, between 296 and 726 new antenna sites will be added in the Netherlands for public mobile networks. This is the outcome of a study conducted by Dialogic together with Inwilution and TU/e on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate. Until 2027, we do not expect the deployment of large-scale small-cell structures in the Netherlands, like the ones already seen in major Asian cities.
Data consumption on mobile networks will continue to grow in the coming years. To handle this data, Dutch operators will keep enhancing their networks. The introduction of 5G offers new technology and opportunities to make networks more efficient, but also leads to new use cases and bandwidth demand. Sometimes, additional antenna sites are required for this purpose. Additionally, new sites are being installed to improve coverage and in new neighbourhoods.
