Backhaul Spectrum

For meeting the increased backhaul needs, on July 25, 2022, DoT has issued guidelines for the allotment of spectrum in E-band (71-76/81-86 GHz) on interim basis to telecom operators through the administrative route. Upon receipt of applications, TSPs would be allotted a maximum of 2 carriers of 250 MHz each (paired) bandwidth in E-band for their backhaul purpose in the service area where they are holding access spectrum in IMT bands.
