The last three months have seen the conclusion of several high-profile auctions. These have been added to our Data Explorer and are now available to Spectrum Research Service subscribers.

In Vietnam, the Ministry of Science and Technology auctioned off sections of the 900 MHz band, which were acquired by three operators: Viettel, VNPT and Vietnamobile. This is the first time Vietnam has refarmed a mobile band from 2G to 4G. The auction raised more than $100 million.

Ghana held a successful 5G auction, awarding spectrum in the 700 MHz and 2.3 GHz bands. The nation’s auctions have attracted great interest from the country’s operators, but future awards in the 3 GHz band have not been announced yet.

Alongside these developments, Montenegro renewed several licences, and Paraguay auctioned licences in the 2.3 GHz and 3.3-3.8 GHz bands to Personal and Tigo.

Lastly, the Dominican Republic auctioned off licences in the 700 MHz, 3.3-3.8 GHz and 2.3 GHz bands. They were acquired by Viettel and Claro.

We have also updated several major countries in the European telecoms body, CEPT (such as Italy and France), with the latest spectrum renewals reported to the body and shown in its 2026 “licensing of mobile bands” report.
