Veröffentlicht am 31/01/2025 in Technik, Tipps & Tricks
For businesses, speed is everything. Fiber is the key to that speed. It offers lightning-fast, reliable professional internet and helps businesses tackle daily challenges effortlessly. Find out why fiber is a must for any forward-thinking business.

Fiber is to wired internet connections what 5G is to mobile networks: the next-generation solution for ultra-fast, stable connections. A better connection naturally unlocks a world of new possibilities.
What is fiber?
Fiber internet is the future of business connectivity. Unlike traditional copper-based connections, it uses advanced fiber-optic technology to transmit data via light signals. This innovation significantly boosts speed and stability, taking your internet experience to an entirely new level.
What makes fiber so powerful?
Fiber-optic networks replace standard copper cables with ultra-thin glass fibers, each just 125 micrometres thick—roughly the diameter of a human hair—encased in a protective plastic coating. These cables transmit data from point A to point B using light instead of electrical signals, enabling lightning-fast speeds with minimal latency.
With Proximus Fiber, you can enjoy download speeds of up to 8.5 Gbps and upload speeds of 1.5 Gbps. To put that into perspective, a 30 GB file can be downloaded in just 30 seconds—a vast improvement compared to the 40 minutes required on a traditional connection. With such speed, your business operates more efficiently, reducing downtime and maximising productivity.

Fiber supports emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data analytics, IoT, and virtual reality, all of which demand robust, high-speed networks. Data consumption is set to rise exponentially, mainly due to video streaming, cloud applications, and the “Internet of Things” (IoT). As a leader in network technology, Proximus is committed to keeping your business ahead of the curve. - Uninterrupted connectivity
Unlike copper cables, fiber is resistant to interference from electromagnetic signals and weather conditions, ensuring a stable and reliable connection—no matter the circumstances.
