L-band is for mobile television, wireless broadband and satellite radio
Telecoms regulator Ofcom has announced the outcome of its fifth auction of radio spectrum held online earlier in the month.
Qualcomm UK Spectrum has been awarded a licence to use the spectrum in the 1452-1492MHz band - known as L-band. The licence fee paid was £8,334,000. Qualcomm will be able to use its licence immediately.
L-band is suitable for services such as mobile television, wireless broadband and satellite radio.
Ofcom's fifth auction of radio spectrum is part of a wider programme to release spectrum for a range of uses. Other future awards include spectrum at 2.6GHz and the digital dividend - the spectrum that will be released through the switchover to digital television.
The full results of the spectrum auction can be found on the Ofcom website.
