📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has proposed a regulatory modification that will allow expanding the reach of Wi-Fi access points in indoor spaces (homes, schools and work centers) and, thereby, achieve cutting-edge connectivity in the country.
In this sense, technical adjustments have been proposed for better use of the 5 GHz frequency band, which offers a broader spectrum, greater transmission capacity and enables faster speeds for Internet access. However, since the 5 GHz band has a limited range, it is necessary to increase the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP).
“At the MTC we work for a true revolution in connectivity. Therefore, our efforts, in addition to aiming to reduce the telecommunications gap, are also focused on improving the existing service. Through this proposal we seek to transform the Wi-Fi experience, expanding its reach and improving the quality of life of Peruvians ,” said the Vice Minister of Communications, Carla Sosa.
It should be noted that, to improve the signal in indoor environments, countries such as the United States, Colombia and Chile also concluded that it is necessary to make this change. The evaluation considers growth indicators of contracted bandwidth for fixed Internet and the increase in devices that use Wi-Fi wireless connections in closed spaces.
The MTC will evaluate the comments and suggestions of interested parties and citizens in general on this topic that are sent to the email (info.DGPRC@mtc.gob.pe), within a period of fifteen calendar days from the publication made. on November 29.
