Chairman Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Major General (retd) Hafeez-ur-Rehman announced on Monday that the regulator will hold the country’s long-awaited 5G spectrum auction between April and May this year.
Speaking at a ceremony attended by Malaysian telecom officials, he acknowledged existing delays in the rollout of 5G services in Pakistan.
Malaysian telecom representatives, who have already transitioned from 5G to 5.5G, shared their experiences in implementing the technology. The PTA chairman added that Pakistan would benefit from Malaysia’s expertise in launching 5G services.
In the same event, Minister of State for IT and Telecom Shaza Fatima Khawaja noted that Pakistan was getting closer to the launch of 5G as planning and consultations were well underway.
The arrival of 5G in Pakistan will further boost economic activity and drive digital transformation, the minister added.

Total BS. Data speeds for 4G and 3G have been hampered badly by official policies. Why would anyone want to invest in 5G here
Boy do I have a news for you, if you think nobody will invest in 5g in the 5th most populous country on earth.
Yes but everyone is broke here,,,,
we will see, we may have companies from china who are used to mega censorship.
No censorship exists only on Mars.
When there’s money to be made companies invest(no matter the amount of censorship) and in this case there’s a ton of money to be made by telcos hence all 3 telcos will invest just like they did back in 2014 3g/4g Auction.
According to google 30Mbps is a good 4G LTE speed while I get more than that on my Ufone SIM Even though I live in a village Bro where do you live? I live in village and get 30Mbps + 🤷
After the 5G is operational, another firewall will be installed and the public will again be traumatized by these big mouths.

This is very informative article and i am satisfied with this
First improve 4G service then keep providing 5G service
We don’t want it, just give us the actual 4G speed, that’s enough.
Bro don’t worry,we will get actual 4g speed of 20mbps in 5g.
