On 27 January 2016, during the meeting of Auction Commission UAB Omnitel, a subsidiary of TEO LT, AB, was recognised the winner of radio frequencies block bundle No. C1 at Communications Regulatory Authority auction for the right to use radio frequencies (channels) from paired radio frequencies bandwidth of 880–915 MHz and 925–960 MHz, and paired radio frequencies bandwidth of 1710–1785 MHz and 1805–1880 MHz.
Omnitel offered the highest price (EUR 14.3 million) for this radio frequencies block bundle and got the priority right to choose the preferred A and B category radio frequencies block.
At the meeting of Auction Commission on 27 January 2016 Omnitel expressed its will to choose A2 (i.e. radio frequencies from paired radio frequencies bandwidth of 891.7–903.3 MHz and 936.7–948.3 MHz) and B1 (i.e. radio frequencies from paired radio frequencies bandwidth of 1710–1735 MHz and 1805–1830 MHz) radio frequencies blocks.
Namely, combination of A2 and B1 radio frequencies will ensure high 2G, 3G and 4G network capacity and maximum coverage of Lithuania’s territory, including regions near the longest state borders with Latvia and Belarus.
