Poland’s telecoms market regulator UKE plans to auction both 2.6 GHz and 790-862 MHz frequency bands in a single auction. According to UKE, the 2.6 GHz band will be available immediately after the auction. Frequencies in the 790-862 MHz range, which is currently controlled by the military, will also be made public in the near future.

Using the 2.6 GHz band will be possible immediately after the auction. However, the use of frequencies in the range 790-862 MHz will be possible according to the schedule, which shall be made public in the near future after the arrangements conducted with the Minister of National Defence.

The tender will begin immediately after the consultation of new drafts of tender documents and after required by the ITU Regulations agreements with Russia and Belarus.
