Orange Slovakia has become the first operator in the country to provide 5G Internet connectivity for companies. After a successful test run that started on December 14, 2023, the service is now available for business customers.
This service provides businesses with a stable and fast connection even in areas where it is not possible to connect to an optical network. It can be used both as a primary and as a backup connection.
The service can be set up practically anywhere, since Orange uses not only a modern 5G network, but also, for example, an optical connection or a 60 GHz microwave connection.
Orange's Internet for Business via 5G also offers companies an additional service for protection against DDoS attacks and other cyber threats. Combined with the Online Protection add-on service, the service also provides comprehensive protection against spam, viruses and phishing scams.

Cyber security is a critical aspect of any business in today's digital age. Our goal is to provide customers with the best technology and services available to ensure their digital security and business continuity. The launch of the Internet service for companies via 5G is a key step in this regard. Furthermore, we know from the feedback of our customers that the performance of our 5G Internet exceeds their expectations, which certainly confirms this effort of ours. The number of DDoS attacks is in the thousands per week. It is not rare that we register even 5000 of them per week. So it's clear that cyber threats are a constant and growing problem for the business community. These attacks can have devastating consequences, including internet outages that can increase the loss of a business to the point of insolvency. In addition, our statistics show that these attacks mainly concern small and medium-sized businesses. With this step, Orange Slovakia once again confirms its position as a market leader in the field of innovation and customer satisfaction. Investing in 5G technology and focusing on cyber security reflects our commitment to providing innovative solutions that protect and support our customers' businesses
