Slovenia's telecommunications regulator, AKOS, opened a public tender for allocating 5G radio frequencies for the provisioning of public telecommunications services to end users in the country, it said.
The agency is inviting all interested parties in getting frequencies in the two blocks in the 2300 MHz band and one block in the 3600 MHz band to submit their bids by December 20, AKOS said in a statement on Friday.
The objectives of the tender are to create conditions for the construction of local and regional cellular radio systems, advanced dedicated services for business users and ensure the digital inclusion of the local population, increasing the social and economic well-being of citizens of Slovenia, especially new jobs in the years 2025 to 2030, AKOS said.
AKOS determined the minimum payment amounts for the efficient use of a limited natural resource for 10 MHz and per 1,000 inhabitants with the consent of the Slovenian government, the agency noted.
It hopes to issue the final decisions on awarding the frequencies by the middle of 2024.
