Press ReleaseParis, 11 July 2019
Network sharing agreement in Belgium between Orange Belgium and
Proximus
Orange Belgium and Proximus signed a term sheet today to enter
into a mobile access network sharing agreement by the end of the
year. This agreement aims to allow the two companies to meet
customers’ growing demand in terms of mobile network quality and
indoor coverage.
Mobile access network sharing between Orange Belgium and
Proximus includes 2G, 3G and 4G technologies. This network sharing
will also allow quicker and more comprehensive 5G roll-out in
Belgium. Although they will share their mobile access networks, the
two companies will retain full control over their own spectrum
resources, and they will continue to independently operate their
core networks to offer a separate customer experience and
service.
In financial terms, Orange Belgium expects this agreement to
deliver cumulative opex and capex savings of €300m over 10 years.
Orange Belgium will spend €130m over the next three years to
implement this agreement.
Subject to a definitive agreement, the shared mobile access
network will be planned, built and operated by a new equally-owned
joint venture starting in Q1 2020.
