The first 5G test call is truly a big step towards the betterment of the Telecom Industry in Pakistan as the country is moving forward in enhancing connectivity by bringing in new technologies.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) also made a regulatory framework on IoT and 5G recently. The aim behind this working group is mainly to predict the IoT forthcoming expansions in Pakistan and assess and recommend the thinkable regulatory options.
At the moment, the commercial 5G placement has many years to go, the calling through 5G technology is a first step which ensures that Telco’s are at work to arrange new technologies for Digital Transformation in Pakistan.
Currently, the 5G integration on mobile devices in the Pakistani market is not that high as only some of the flagships have 5G technology which means if 5G tech is to be deployed now, a lot of people will get benefit from 5G availability.
At the start of 2020, PTA issued a 5G test license to two telecom operators, Jazz, and Zong.
