More 4G spectrum to be up for auction by telcos: IDA






SINGAPORE - The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) announced on Wednesday it plans to release more spectrum bandwidth for telcos to utilise for 4G networks.

Some 270MHz (megahertz) of additional spectrum space will be up for grabs in an auction set for some time in the middle of this year. 4G is the next generation of data networking, allowing for data transfer rates that would potentially be several times faster than existing 3G data plans.

Mr Leong Keng Thai, IDA's deputy chief executive and director-general (telecoms and post), said the auction "will pave the way for nationwide deployment of 4G and for consumers to enjoy higher speeds in accessing mobile services across Singapore."
