Three proposals submitted for 5G rollout
IMDA expects to award the spectrum by mid-2020.
The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) received three submissions for proposals to facilitate the rollout of 5G networks, according to a press release.
At the proposal’s closing, IMDA received one submission each from Singtel Mobile Singapore and TPG Telecom, as well as a joint submission from StarHub Mobile and M1.
IMDA is expecting to award the spectrum on mid-2020.
Under a call for proposal (CFP), two 3.5GHz spectrum bands will be put up for bids to deploy on a standalone basis. Another two 800MHz lots of mmWave spectrum will also be awarded to be deployed on a non-standalone basis.
