The 5G Call for Proposal (CFP) process marks another milestone in the development of 5G technology in Singapore. Through this process, Singtel Mobile Singapore Pte Ltd (Singtel) and the Joint-Venture Consortium (JVCo) formed by StarHub Mobile Pte Ltd (StarHub) and M1 Limited (M1) were selected as winners, having completed the various requirements set out by IMDA regulations, including the selection of spectrum lots.
Based on the offer prices submitted in their CFP proposals, Singtel, and JVCo had to each pay the spectrum clearing price of S$55,010,000 for one 100 MHz lot in the 3.5 GHz band. Singtel submitted the winning assignment bid of S$2,100,128 to be assigned its preferred 100 MHz lot.
While there was no spectrum premium for the mmWave spectrum, the CFP winners had to bid for the final assignment of their respective two 400 MHz lots. M1, Singtel, and StarHub submitted the winning assignment bids of S$250,001, S$750,128, and S$1 respectively.
Following this, TPG Telecom Pte Ltd (TPG) applied for and was assigned the remaining two 400 MHz lots in the mmWave band.
