Spectrum Auctions April 2022
Report summary
The latest update from GSA about the status of spectrum auctions and assignments around the world. Highlights in this update include:
- The USA has announced a 2.5 GHz 5G auction, scheduled for July 2022
- Kazakhstan has scheduled its 3.5 GHz 5G auction for end of May 2022
- South Africa and Bangladesh have now completed multi-spectrum auctions
GSA has a large Spectrum Group that is active in all regions and is aligned along ITU lines. The Spectrum Group is authoring reports about different spectrum areas from low- and mid-band to high-band frequencies.
The auction calendar includes all forthcoming auctions and assignments known to GSA. Auctions and assignments are only included when a definite decision to assign the spectrum has been announced. Spectrum under consideration or consultation for assignment is not included.
Auctions and assignments are removed from the calendar once the assignment process has been completed. Ongoing processes with no formal end date (for example, for the administrative award of local or private or shared licences available on simple application) are included in advance of the opening of the application process, but are removed once the application process has been opened.
A list of recently completed auctions and assignments is also provided for reference.
Our latest update on the status of spectrum auctions worldwide is now available: Spectrum Auction Calendar, April 2022. Highlights include the USA’s auction for 2.5 GHz spectrum for 5G use, scheduled for July 2022.
