During this first session, it was a question of positioning a 5 MHz duplex block among the available locations. The results are as follows:
- In Guadeloupe: The Orange company obtained location no. 2 for an amount of 500,666 euros.
- In Martinique: The Orange company also obtained location no. 2 for an identical amount of 500,666 euros.
These acquisitions strengthen Orange's position as a major player in the telecommunications market in the Antilles.
The procedure does not end there. A second positioning auction is planned in the coming days. It will focus on the positioning of a 5 MHz duplex block among locations no. 1, no. 6 and no. 10. Three operators will participate: Digicel AFG, Orange, and Outremer Telecom.
The allocation of these frequencies in the 2.1 GHz band is essential for the deployment of next generation mobile networks, including 4G and potentially 5G. These modern infrastructures are crucial to reducing the digital divide, stimulating the local economy, and providing better connectivity to the inhabitants of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
-The evolution of these auctions will be closely monitored by industry players and users, who expect concrete improvements in the quality of mobile services. The next steps will be decisive in shaping the digital landscape of the Antilles in the years to come.
