El Salvador has announced the auction of 20MHz of mobile spectrum in the 1900MHz (PCS) band on 12th December.

The Superintendencia General de Electricidad y Telecom (SIGET) has called for potential bidders to submit applications by 4th December.

Two holdings of 2x5MHz will be made available, with 10MHz available in the 1850MHz-1855MHz/1930MHz-1935MHz range and another 10MHz in the 1855MHz-1860MHz/1935MHz-1940MHz band. The reserve price of the two holdings is set at US$6.25 million.

The regulator has also announced that it plans to sell 120MHz of 1700MHz/2100MHz (AWS and Extended AWS) band spectrum at around the same time. Split into twelve 2x5MHz holdings, these would include 90MHz in the 1710MHz-1755MHz/2110MHz-2155MHz (AWS) range and 30MHz in the 1755MHz-1770MHz/2155MHz-2170MHz (Extended AWS) band.
