The Dominican Telecommunications Institute (Indotel) has renewed the tender for new frequencies that will enable telecoms companies to make considerable improvements to cellular and Internet services throughout the country.
The frequencies are in bands between 941 and 960 MHz; 1710 and 1755 MHz, as well as 2110 and 2155 MHz.
Some of the access and use of some of the ‘new’ frequencies (941-960 MHz and 2110-2120 MhZ) are part of a dispute brought Telemicro and Full Telephone Services (Satel). These companies claim that although they own these frequencies in question, they are being used by n but Orange as part of that company’s 4G service.
Disputes aside, the granting of these frequencies will increase the bandwidth for cell phones and the Internet and will make the platforms significantly more stable for users.
