The spectrum acquired by PTML (Ufone) shall also be used by Telenor Pakistan after the merger of PTML (Ufone) with Telenor Pakistan with all the required regulatory approvals. Following completion of the merger, the resulting entity (MergeCo) will use the combined spectrum to provide advanced digital services to over 70 million customers throughout the country, creating one of the most powerful digital platforms in the country.
5G is much more than increased speeds for mobile devices. It is what will allow for a fundamentally different degree of digital capability that will support the ever-increasing requirements of the digital economy in Pakistan.
For consumers, though, 5G will offer seamless ultra-high-definition video streaming, immersive cloud gaming, augmented reality and virtual reality experiences as well as faster access to digital services and entertainment.
In the case of businesses and enterprises, 5G will provide transformative potential, including intelligent factories, automated logistics, AI-enhanced analytics, and the ability to connect to the cloud with the highest level of reliability that will underpin business operations that are indispensable.
In other sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture and public services, 5G can help achieve innovations such as remote diagnostics, virtual classrooms, smart farming technologies, intelligent traffic systems and next-generation financial services.

The acquisition of 5G spectrum is a part of PTML’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality, reliability and reach of digital connectivity for individual and enterprise customers.
Following the planned merger with Telenor Pakistan, this integrated network will allow more efficient use of the spectrum resources, enhance nationwide coverage and bring greater capacity into the investment to help accelerate the implementation of more advanced network technologies.
The company will now begin preparations for a phased but speeded up roll out of 5G services, initially in the major urban centers, but gradually spreading across other regions. Significant investment will be made in network modernization, site densification, and development of a more digital infrastructure for consistent performance and an excellent customer experience as 5G begins to scale nationwide.
Celebrating the milestone, Hatem Bamatraf, President and Group CEO, PTCL & Ufone said,

Our priority has been to develop a resilient and future-ready digital infrastructure that facilitates support to Pakistan’s rapidly-changing digital economy. With 5G, customers will experience more intelligent services, businesses will have powerful new tools for productivity and innovation and entire industries will be able to reimagine how they operate in a digital world.”
