5G service in Pakistan will soon to start its tests in the country

5G service in Pakistan is soon to start its first test in the country under the authority of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). The test would, however, take around 3 years to complete its tests. By 2020, Pakistan would become one of the first South Asian countries to test the next generation of mobile technology.

The 5G service in Pakistan would run the tests in collaborations with some mobile operators of the country. The goal will be achieved when these mobile companies in the country will develop their mobile applications under the supervision of PTA.

The government would facilitate all existing as well as new companies to test 5G in Pakistan. The facilitation would be in the form of free test license and spectrum

The statement was first rolled out when Chairman PTA, Dr. Syed Ismail Shah was talking to the media at a workshop held in Islamabad on Tuesday, May 30.
