Mexico's Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) submitted to public consultation draft rules for an upcoming spectrum auction. This auction would grant 20-year concessions for fixed radio link capacity in the 10.5 GHz (10.15–10.65 GHz) and 38 GHz (37–38.6 GHz) bands, with coverage for 242 geographic areas CRT refers to as basic service units (UBS). The spectrum is intended to extend wireless connectivity in rural and underserved areas. The consultation is scheduled to conclude on 21 October 2026. The proposal refers to interested parties having to express their interest as bidders from 23–27 November 2026, while bidding would start from 12 April 2027.

The final rules differ materially from the consultation draft, offering more spectrum per industrial coverage region (ICR), wider blocks and more ICRs. Expressions of interest can be submitted from 19 to 23 October 2026, and bidding is scheduled to start on 19 April 2027.
