Frequencies – French Overseas Territories

“Positioning” auctions whose purpose was to determine each of the winning candidate’s position in the 703 – 723 MHz and 758 – 778 MHz sub-bands and in the 3.4 – 3.8 GHz band in Martinique and in Guadeloupe were held on 22 October 2024.

Results of the positioning auctions for 700 MHz band blocks contained in the frequency packages in Martinique and in Guadeloupe

As a reminder: having completed the examination of the applications, the principal auction for the assignment of 700 MHz and 900 MHz band frequency packages in Martinique and in Guadeloupe, which was held on 1 October, made it possible to determine the blocks of frequencies obtained by each of the winning candidates, provided the procedure for awarding spectrum in the 703 – 723 MHz and 758 – 778 MHz sub-bands is brought to completion.

At the outcome of the positioning auctions for 700 MHz band spectrum contained in the 700 MHz and 900 MHz band frequency packages, the results in Martinique are as follows:

At the outcome of the positioning auctions for 700 MHz band spectrum contained in the 700 MHz and 900 MHz band frequency packages, the results in Guadeloupe are as follows:

The purpose of the next stage in the procedure will be to determine the position of the frequencies that the winning candidates obtained in the 900 MHz band following the principal auctions for 700 MHz and 900 MHz band frequency packages in Martinique and in Guadeloupe.
