- BICS collaborates with industry leaders to enhance EV charging infrastructure.
- The partnership focuses on integrating IoT technology to optimise charging efficiency and user experience.
- Aimed at aligning with global standards to support the growing demand for electric mobility.
Belgacom International Carrier Services(BICS) has announced a strategic partnership with leading technology firms to develop a new IoT-enabled framework for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, effective from 2026, with a pilot phase scheduled for 2024-2025. This collaboration aims to align the EV charging ecosystem in various markets with international best practices, enhancing connectivity and reducing operational challenges for EV service providers.
BICS will integrate innovative IoT solutions into its existing platform
As part of this partnership, BICS will integrate cutting-edge IoT solutions into its existing connectivity framework, moving beyond traditional charging solutions. The transition will take full effect in 2026, with an initial pilot phase allowing stakeholders to adapt to the new system. The goal is to modernise EV charging infrastructure to meet the growing demand for electric mobility and improve overall operational efficiency.
Currently, EV charging networks often face challenges related to interoperability, standardisation, and real-time data management. By adopting an IoT-enabled approach, the new framework will enable charging stations to communicate with each other and the grid, optimising energy use and enhancing the user experience. This transition will leverage publicly available data to assess and improve the performance of charging stations, a method already proven successful in numerous global implementations.
This partnership between BICS and industry leaders marks a significant milestone for the EV charging ecosystem. It will encourage EV service providers to elevate their operational standards and support users in accessing seamless charging solutions, in line with the growing trend of electric mobility. BICS has planned a comprehensive roadmap with relevant stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to this innovative infrastructure, benefiting all parties involved.
BICS and its partners will conduct a series of workshops
To facilitate this transition, BICS and its partners will conduct a series of workshops aimed at educating market participants about the new IoT framework. These workshops will include seminars and the development of guidelines on best practices in both local languages and English.
This partnership underscores BICS’s commitment to advancing sustainable practices in the EV charging industry, aligning with global standards, and supporting the growth of electric mobility solutions.
