Panama’s National Public Services Authority (Autoridad Nacional de los Servicios Publicos, ASEP) has confirmed that 140MHz of spectrum in the 1710MHz-1780MHz/2110MHz-2180MHz (AWS) band was successfully freed up in 2017, in line with Resolucion AN No. 9319-Telco, which was signed back in November 2015. The development was shared by the watchdog this week, as it gave a presentation of its annual results to the National Assembly (Asamblea Nacional).
The frequencies in question were originally expected to have been freed up by the end of 2016; a prospective date for a future spectrum auction has yet to be disclosed.
