Dominican Republic - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses
Dominican Republic starts weighing its options for rolling out 5G
The Dominican Republic’s telecom regulator has Indotel set out the schedule for awarding spectrum in the 700MHz and 3.5GHz bands for 5G use. The 5G auction process is expected to be completed in September 2021, and if everything goes to plan the award of licences will occur as early as November 2021. This would make the Dominican Republic the second Latin American country ready to deploy 5G network technology.
Any company, domestic and international, is able to participate in the auction, provided they meet the country’s legal, financial, and technical requirements. The government has also affirmed that Huawei will not be excluded from the tender process.
