📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) has published the draft Regulation of Legislative Decree No. 1627, which promotes the deployment of telecommunications services using fifth generation (5G) or higher technology. The publication, made official today in the Official Gazette El Peruano, aims to collect comments from citizens on this regulatory proposal, available on the MTC website.
Legislative Decree No. 1627, issued in August 2024, grants the MTC the power to assign radio spectrum directly to interested companies, provided that the demand for spectrum does not exceed its availability in the corresponding band. This will be done through open calls for the submission of expressions of interest, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the process.
In this sense, the draft regulation seeks to optimize the spectrum allocation process, promoting competition in the market, guaranteeing adequate compensation to the State and, above all, ensuring that the benefits reach the population directly. Interested companies must make investment commitments focused on closing connectivity gaps in 4G services and promoting access to 5G technology in the country.
After rigorous technical work, this proposal develops the details of the special mechanism for assigning radio spectrum, the requirements and guarantees for interested parties, and the contracting of technical-economic studies that adequately value the available spectrum and the necessary migrations, said the Vice Minister of Communications, Carla Sosa Vela.
The MTC calls on society to actively participate in this regulatory process, key to promoting technological innovation and improving the telecommunications experience of Peruvians. Citizens may send their contributions and suggestions until January 6, 2025, considering that the deadline is fifteen (15) calendar days from the publication of the project.

With this initiative, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to promote connectivity, boost technological development and foster a constructive dialogue that benefits all Peruvians.
