Results of the stage for assigning 900 MHz band frequencies that are available up to 30 April 2025
At the end of the principal auction for the assignment of frequencies in the 900 MHz band that will become available on 1 May 2025, Zeop Mobile was the only candidate whose holdings in the 900 MHz band as of 5 December 2023 were less than a 5 MHz pair of duplex frequencies. The operator was therefore awarded the frequency resources available until 30 April 2025.
For this stage in the process, the results of the assignment of 900 MHz band frequencies that are available up to 30 April 2025 are as follows:
Candidate | Zeop Mobile |
Quantity of frequencies assigned up to 30 April 2025 | 5 MHz (paired) |
The next stages in the procedure will serve to determine the position of the frequencies available until 30 April 2025, that Zeop Mobile obtained in the 900 MHz band, and the position in the 900 MHz band of each of the principal auction’s winning candidates, for those frequencies that will become available on 1 May 2025.
