She indicated that the new bandwidth will provide a capacity of one gigahertz for each of the mobile phone service operators, and it will be an opportunity to promote and develop wireless broadband services using the fifth generation technology, in terms of speed and data volume compared to what was provided by the fourth generation networks.
Frequency firing is in two stages
The TRA confirmed that the new frequency band will be allocated in two phases based on the availability of equipment, as the first phase is scheduled to start on the first of September 2020, in which the frequency range (26.5-27.5 GHz) will be allocated to the operators, and the second phase will start In the third quarter of next year, during which each operator will be allocated a bandwidth of one gigahertz (25.5-27.5 GHz).
