Public Consultation on New Frequency Band
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) in Peru has initiated a public consultation to gauge industry interest in utilizing a new frequency band for providing public telecommunications services with radio systems. The MTC has published a document on its institutional portal to share important details about the 416.675 - 420 MHz and 426.675 - 430 MHz Band, including permitted use, number of channels, and assignment specifications. The purpose of this publication is to gather feedback from the industry regarding their interest in utilizing this frequency band and collect suggestions on its potential use.
The General Directorate of Communications Policies and Regulation at the MTC aims to identify the needs of companies in the telecommunications sector concerning the new frequency band. This information will facilitate the evaluation of allocation conditions in alignment with sector priorities, ensuring efficient use for the benefit of all Peruvians.
The MTC is committed to working collaboratively to expand coverage to more areas and bridge the telecommunications gap. Stakeholders and interested parties have the opportunity to submit their comments on the proposed frequency band until June 28th. The feedback received will contribute to shaping the allocation process and regulatory framework, promoting a more inclusive and efficient telecommunications landscape in Peru.
