On February 20, 2024, BICMA unveiled the 26GHz Band Plan, allocating the n258 band within the frequency range of 24.3 – 27.5 GHz to IMT Services in Bhutan.

Quality of Service (QoS) degradation has been a challenge for telecom operators, especially given the limited land space. To address this, the deployment of the mid 3.5GHz (n78) spectrum for 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) services reflects ongoing efforts. Furthermore, there are plans for further spectrum expansion to strengthen 5G services in the country.
