KPN stated that over the past 2.5 years, it has successfully deployed 105 new antenna sites strategically placed in both urban centres and rural areas. In urban regions like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht, and Eindhoven, the primary focus has been on enhancing network capacity in high-traffic locations.
