Addressing questions, Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Azam Nazeer Tarar said the PTA has allowed six gigahertz spectrum bands for the Radio Local Area Network operation being conducted without a license in Pakistan.
The minister added that the provision of the six-gigahertz spectrum band is aimed at facilitating and streamlining the deployment of 5G technology in Pakistan.
The constitution of the telecom infrastructure sharing framework was also finalised, which ensures the growth and sustainability of the telecom sector in Pakistan.
