Slovak cellcos complete 1800MHz refarming

Mobile operators in Slovakia have completed a reorganisation of the 1800MHz band which has left all four cellcos with contiguous holdings, Zive.sk reports. For the purposes of spectrum refarming, the country was split into four areas; each cellco now has 2×20MHz of spectrum in three parts of the country and 2×15MHz in the fourth region. The 1800MHz band was previously fragmented and the operators agreed a reorganisation plan to improve network efficiency to support 2G, 4G and 5G services.
