Decisions outline transition to flexible–use licensing and framework for upcoming spectrum auction
TORONTO, May 26, 2026 /CNW/ - TERAGO Inc. ("TERAGO" or the "Company") (TSX: TGO) (https://terago.ca/), Canada's largest mmWave spectrum holder (91% of spectrum held) and a leading provider of Managed Fixed Wireless Internet, 5G Private Wireless Networks and SD-WAN solutions today welcomed the release of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's ("ISED") Policy and Licensing Framework for Spectrum in the 26 GHz and 38 GHz Bands.
TERAGO acknowledges ISED's mmWave Decision – a notable advancement that reflects their on-going efforts to support connectivity and innovation in Canada. These decisions establish the framework for the use and licensing of mmWave spectrum in Canada, including transition of existing licences to flexible-use licences and further investment.
"These decisions provide regulatory clarity on the future use of mmWave spectrum in Canada," said Daniel Vucinic, Chief Executive Officer of TERAGO. "TERAGO remains focused on delivering high-performance connectivity solutions to Canadian businesses. The framework provides visibility into the long-term spectrum environment while supporting the continued development of important fixed wireless and enterprise connectivity use cases. The transition path for existing licensees enables continued service delivery to customers while providing flexibility to evolve our network over time."
The Policy and Licensing Framework outlines the licensing, auction and deployment requirements for the 26 GHz and 38 GHz bands. Notably, current licencees who meet the new conditions of licence will be permitted to transition their holdings to flexible use licences as part of the broader licencing process. The auction process is expected to commence in October 2027, with licences to be issued following completion of the auction. Existing fixed service licences will remain valid until March 31, 2029, providing a multi–year transition period.
TERAGO will continue to evaluate the implications of these decisions and will participate in the transition process in accordance with ISED's timelines and requirements.
