KPN Extends 2G Support

To ensure a smooth transition to modern mobile networks, KPN has decided to extend support for 2G technology by two years. This provides organizations with extra time to migrate to the latest generation of networks: 4G, 5G, LTE-M, or NB-IoT. While the use of 2G has declined significantly in recent years, a considerable number of users still rely on this technology daily.

Phasing Out 2G by the End of 2027

KPN will definitively phase out 2G technology as of December 1, 2027. Our advice is to make the transition in a timely manner. These new networks not only offer faster and more stable connections but are also significantly safer. By switching to modern technology, users can benefit from improved network capacity and innovative applications.

Optimizing Network Capacity

Releasing the capacity currently used by 2G allows KPN to invest in the latest generation of mobile networks. This step follows the earlier phasing out of 3G, which made higher speeds and increased network capacity available to meet the growing demand for data services. KPN remains committed to building a future-proof network that meets the needs of both consumers and businesses.

With this extension, KPN emphasizes its commitment to supporting a reliable transition to new technologies without compromising the continuity of existing users.
