Paris, 17 November 2015


Bouygues Telecom gets a block of 700 MHz frequencies, giving it 25% of available spectrum and thus the best MHz/customer ratio on the market


Bouygues Telecom is delighted that it has been awarded a block of 5 MHz following the State's auction of frequencies in the 700 MHz band.


Acquired for €466 million, this block will be added to the spectrum used by Bouygues Telecom for 4G, comprised of the 800 MHz and 2600 MHz frequencies acquired in 2012 as well as the 1800 MHz frequencies that Bouygues Telecom was the first to use on a massive scale to offer its customers extensive 4G coverage.


As a result, factoring in the 900 and 2100 MHz frequencies, Bouygues Telecom's range of frequencies now represents 25% of available spectrum, giving it the best MHz/customer ratio on the market.


This wide and comprehensive range of frequencies will bolster Bouygues Telecom's strategy aimed at underpinning growth in mobile data use, thus enabling it to maintain its leadership in 4G.
