The Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulator (TRR) has, today Wednesday 30 April 2014, released its Public Consultation Document on the Planning for the 700 MHz Band in Vanuatu, for public input and comment. This Consultation Document has been developed to facilitate the planning and allocation of the 700 MHz radiofrequency spectrum band for the delivery of wireless mobile broadband services in Vanuatu.

The Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulation Act 2009 mandates TRR to regulate the telecommunications sector and to manage the radio frequency spectrum, in order to promote national social and economic development.

Through the release of its Consultation Document, TRR is initiating a public consultation process inviting comment from interested parties on the technical framework to allocate the band 694-803 MHz (also known as the 700 MHz band) for the deployment of mobile wireless broadband services.

Comments are sought on any aspect proposed towards its allocation and use of the 700 MHz band for commercial mobile services and public safety broadband applications. Click here to download the consultation paper.
