Coverage obligations

With the assignment of the frequency usage rights for the 700/1500/2100 MHz bands by the Telekom Control Commission on October 20, 2020
(F 1 / 16-394) to A1 Telekom, Hutchison and T-Mobile, these companies are obliged to meet certain coverage obligations. These obligations can be found in chapter 4 of the annex to the above-mentioned decision.

While the decision is only available in German, the tender - which also includes the coverage obligations - is available here as a legally non-binding translation.

The obligations are outlined below:

• Band-specific coverage obligations,
• Basic coverage obligations (general population coverage, cities, streets (cat. B and L), motorways and railways)
• Coverage of cadastral communities (extended coverage obligations)
  

These coverage obligations are to be fulfilled by different deadlines.
