Locations with poor mobile signal coverage

As part of the renewal of radio frequency block allocations in the bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, CTU has imposed an obligation on their holders to improve the availability of mobile signals in localities or basic residential units ("ZSJ") where mobile signal availability is insufficient. As part of this obligation, each of the holders of these block allocations is obliged to cover 500 ZSJ with a mobile signal, while in 200 of these ZJS it is obliged to build the new passive infrastructure needed to ensure coverage. In the remaining 300 ZSJ, the allocation holders may share the necessary passive infrastructure. To enable compliance with this obligation, which must be provided in phases by 31 December 2030, CTU has prepared:

• A list of ZSJ which, in its assessment, were not sufficiently covered at the time of the review of whether there were still grounds for limiting the number of rights in the bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz. This list has been published as an annex to the Conclusions of the review of whether there are still grounds for limiting the number of rights to use radio frequencies in the bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz, published on 13 May 2024 on the CTU´s website and is also included in the terms and conditions of the newly released relevant radio frequency allocations.
• Addition to the list (4 February 2025) based on the published call for applications from municipalities that have applied or continue to apply for improved coverage of the ZSJ that make up some of their districts. For these applications, CTU will progressively carry out a verification of the actual situation and, if it verifies by measurement that the coverage of the population with the signal of the public mobile networks is not higher than the 97% required to meet the established criteria, it will decide on the inclusion of these ZSJ in the list for the fulfilment of the above obligation. This list shall be continuously updated.
