On March 19, 3, VNPT announced that it had officially auctioned the frequency use rights for the C2024 band block (2 - 3700 MHz) to serve the network development strategy. 5G across the country in the near future.
For VNPT, winning the auction for the C2 band block is very important, allowing many network equipment options, the most reasonable 5G network deployment costs, meeting the strategy of deploying high-speed 5G networks in Vietnam. Male. Along with the 3.700 - 3.800 MHz frequency band, VNPT also owns the 1.800 MHz frequency band, which will be a great advantage in promoting the 5G network in the near future, and at the same time, creating a premise for the development of the 6G network. Future.
Previously, on March 8, 3, Viettel announced that it had officially auctioned the rights to use radio frequencies for the 2024-2500 MHz band block within the next 2600 years.
Viettel representative said that the 2500-2600 MHz band is especially important for this network operator, because this is an effective frequency band to simultaneously deploy both 4G and 5G mobile networks, thereby enhancing current 4G service quality and officially providing 5G service. This is also the optimal frequency band with a radius 1,3 times larger than band C (3500 MHz).
Viettel's winning the auction for the right to use radio frequencies to deploy 5G mobile networks is a necessary condition to accompany the world's telecommunications technology development trend, continue to develop 4G networks and transform change to 5G technology. Besides, this is also a roadmap to promote the development of national digital infrastructure and digital service ecosystem, creating new motivation for economic growth and increasing labor productivity.
On March 14, 3, based on the provisions of Clause 2024, Article 1, Article 52 of the Law on Asset Auction 59, National Auction Partnership No. 2016 issued a notice not to organize the auction of frequency 5- 3800 MHz because there are not enough businesses eligible to participate in the minimum auction according to regulations.
Specifically, by the end of the application deadline, 2 businesses submitted applications to register to participate in the auction; By the end of the deposit payment deadline, only 1 business had paid.
The question up to now is that if there is no auction for the 3800-3900 MHz frequency band, will there be a re-auction of this band and what will the starting price be?
According to information from the Ministry of Information and Communications, after the auction of radio frequency use rights for the 3700 - 380 MHz band block, the Ministry will consider and decide to reorganize the auction at an appropriate time for the band block. 3800 – 3900 MHz. The starting price for the C3 band block will be determined in accordance with the auction time.
According to auction regulations, the starting price for the 3800 - 3900 MHz band block will refer to the auction for the C2 band block (3700 - 3800 MHz) that VNPT just won the auction.
Experts say that the 5G network frequency bands in Vietnam for the three planned carriers are 3-2500 MHz, 2600-3700 MHz and 3800 - 3800 MHz, all of which have an equivalent number of compatible terminals because These frequency bands are all popular bands for 3900G networks in the world.
