The highly anticipated 5G licence is expected to be granted by February or March of next year, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
The PTA Chairman claims that final preparations are underway and that the authority is examining financial, technical, and regulatory requirements to make sure the licensing procedure is transparent and compliant with international standards.
A significant step towards modernising the nation's telecom industry is the issuance of the 5G licence.
The new technology is anticipated to boost internet speeds, increase connectivity, and create opportunities for cutting-edge digital services throughout Pakistan once it is introduced.
According to industry experts, the action will strengthen the basis for upcoming tech-driven projects, support IT exports, and help advance the digital economy.
The PTA is working to complete the licensing procedure, and the authority is making efforts to guarantee that it is transparent and equitable.
Pakistan is anticipated to gain a lot from the rollout of 5G technology, including better mobile broadband services, better mobile experiences, and new business prospects.
Additionally, it will open the door for services like IoT, smart cities, and driverless cars.
