2G is shutting down – Make the switch to 4G in time

Important information for anyone using measurement equipment that operates on the 2G network.

The 2G network will soon be phased out. As a result, measurement points that rely on it will stop functioning. To avoid data loss and measurement failure, it’s essential to switch to 4G. But what does this mean for you? What action do you need to take? And how can Leiderdorp Instruments help?

This page provides everything you need to know to make your measurement setup future-proof.

Why is this migration necessary?

At the moment, some devices still use the 2G network. But this network is being phased out in the Netherlands and will no longer be available.
This means that any measurement equipment that depends on 2G will soon stop working.

To keep your equipment operational, switching to 4G is the logical next step. The 4G network offers faster data transmission, better coverage and longer-term support.

What does this mean for you?

Here are the three most common questions we hear:

  • When will 2G shut down?
    • ​KPN will shut down 2G on December 1, 2027
    • Vodafone will stop supporting 2G by the end of 2026

    Make sure to check which network your measurement points are connected to and determine your deadline.

  • What happens if I don’t act?

    If your measurement equipment only supports 2G, it will stop sending data after the network is shut down. This may result in interrupted measurements and data loss.

  • Can’t I just replace the modem?

    No, simply replacing the modem is often not enough. In most cases, the switch requires a new or modified product. Leiderdorp Instruments can help you make the right choice.
