5G: ILIAD AWARDED 70 MHz OF SPECTRUM

IN THE 3.4 - 3.8 GHz BAND

The iliad Group is about to increase its spectrum portfolio, having been awarded 70 MHz of 3.4 - 3.8 GHz frequencies, i.e. 23% of the spectrum available in the auction that ended today.

The Group has been awarded two blocks of 10 MHz for a total price of €252 million, to be paid over four years. This is in addition to the 50 MHz block obtained by the Group after making the commitments specified by ARCEP, in return for a payment of €350 million spread over 15 years.

This investment, made possible by the iliad Group's solid financial position, will enable the Group to maintain its growth in the French mobile market by launching soon 5G services for its 13.4 million subscribers in the near future.

In addition, from 2021, the Group reminds that it will extend its spectrum in the 900 MHz frequency band (+2.6 MHz symmetrical) and in the 2.1 GHz frequency band (+9.8 MHz symmetrical).
