Connectivity on location — market analysis 2026
How business locations in the Netherlands set up their internet, wifi and TV distribution: market picture, a choice model and evidence from real projects.
Market analysis, choice model and five projects
We see every day how locations organise their connectivity — and where it goes wrong. This edition bundles that picture: how the market works, which questions determine your design and how that played out at real locations. No sales talk and no price list; the investment depends on your location.
The market in 2026
Three types of supplier, three predictable gaps — and why comparing prices in this market is so difficult.
Four questions that shape your design
Concurrent users, the cost of downtime, what is physically in place and who will manage it afterwards.
The layered model
Core, Connect, Continuity and Enterprise side by side: users, connection and continuity per layer.
Technology that makes the difference
Automatic failover, WAN bonding, satellite as a third path, VLAN separation, monitoring and Zero Touch Deployment.
Evidence from practice
Five projects: Boutique Hotel de Statie, Hotel Rosveld, Holiday Park Zevenbergen, Eurus Energy and Petrodec ERDA.
Checklist for your site survey
The questions that make quotes genuinely comparable, from failover testing to ownership of the hardware.
Conclusions up front
- Uptime now weighs heavier than bandwidth — the real question is what happens in the first thirty seconds after an outage.
- Mobile and satellite have become a design choice, not an emergency measure.
- Managing per location instead of per workplace is far more predictable at guest-heavy sites.
- TV and internet are converging onto one infrastructure, provided the network was deliberately designed for it.
