📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications MTC is exploring options to coordinate joint work with telecommunications regulatory agencies from border countries in order to reduce the digital divide in the country with special emphasis on the Amazon.This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Communications Patricia Carreo during a working meeting she held with Pablo Palacios Ochoa Program Officer of the International Telecommunication Union ITU a specialized telecommunications agency of the United Nations.We are interested in generating incentives for the deployment of infrastructure and 4G services in the jungle of our country where our geography and population dispersion constitute an enormous challenge said the deputy minister.He added that for this it is important to know experiences of neighboring countries that face a similar geography as well as to identify the deployment of fiber optics achieved in their territories for which the support of ITU can be fundamental.During the meeting different initiatives for the development of 5G technology in the region the studies carried out and the importance of the 3.5 GHz band were also addressed.In this regard within the framework of the agreement between Peru and the ITU the international organization could support the MTC in hiring a consultant for the valuation of the 3.5 GHz band which would allow progress in its reorganization and subsequent bidding through Proinversin.We are focused on the design of policies and measures for the massive deployment of 4G services nationwide. However in parallel we are already evaluating some alternatives for the rearrangement and bidding of the band for 5G concluded Carreo.
