PTA Conducts Mobile QoS Survey on GT Road and Indus Highway

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has conducted an independent Quality of Service (QoS) survey to measure the performances of the Cellular Mobile Operators (CMOs).

The surveyed area was GT Road (Lahore to Peshawar) and Indus Highway (Peshawar to Karachi) from 22 to 24 February 2021, and it took the metrics of the terms of mobile coverage, the availability of services, and their qualities.

The results of the survey revealed that good 3G coverage is available along the entirety of GT Road, while Indus Highway has adequate 3G coverage and patchy 4G coverage.

Overall, satisfactory voice, and SMS and data services are available on both highways. However, a few anomalies were observed in the voice and SMS QoS parameters of all the CMOs along all of GT Road (from Lahore to Peshawar) and Indus Highway (from Peshawar to Karachi).

The CMOs have met the 3G and 4G signal strength and User Data Throughput along GT Road, and the 3G signal strength of the CMOs were found to be in compliance with the license standards on Indus Highway, but the 4G signal strength was below the license standard on Indus Highway.

A confirmatory survey will be conducted upon the receipt of compliance from the licensees.
