5G Spectrum Auction & Timeline
Many big consultants Aetha, Detecon, Frontier Economics are interested in developing 5G WiFi in Pakistan. Government of Pakistan is preparing to launch these four WiFi bands (700 MHz, 2,300 MHz, 2,600 MHz, and 3,500 MHz) by June 2025.
The 5G network might get hurdles due to lack of accurate launch date and Pakistan’s bad economy. Two critical court cases have tied up 146 MHz of planned spectrum—leaving only 50 MHz immediately auctionable and delaying the process.
Jazz Cash owner & CEO Aamir Ibrahim has also warned PTA that dollar‑denominated pricing and high upfront fees could discourage operator participation, potentially shrinking competition.
