LONDON - Britain is planning to release more mobile airwaves through an auction in spring 2020, aiming to improve mobile services and enable more people and businesses to access next generation 5G networks, regulator Ofcom said on Monday.
The regulator said the auction would involve companies bidding for spectrum in two different frequency bands - 80 MHz of spectrum in the 700 MHz band and 120 MHz of spectrum in the 3.6-3.8 GHz band.All four of Britain’s biggest mobile companies - EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three - have launched 5G this year, and releasing these airwaves will help increase the capacity and quality of mobile data services, Ofcom said.
Ofcom’s auction will involve two stages. In the “principal stage” companies will first bid for airwaves in separate “lots” to determine how much spectrum each company wins.
