The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has mandated mobile network providers to enhance coverage in Rawalpindi and Islamabad by October. Operators are required to eradicate existing coverage gaps and elevate service quality across all sectors, localities, and major roads in the two cities. The PTA has also directed telecom companies to establish new mobile sites as needed to resolve coverage issues.
Furthermore, operators are instructed to introduce new sites as part of the rollout of fresh 5G spectrum bands to augment network coverage. PTA emphasized the necessity to improve connectivity in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and issued a clear directive to mobile companies to resolve coverage challenges before the October deadline. The authority plans to persist in monitoring mobile network coverage in the cities and intends to dispatch teams to various areas in Rawalpindi and Islamabad the following week to evaluate mobile network performance and pinpoint coverage gaps.
Operators that fail to enhance service quality may face penalties. The latest instructions focus on augmenting mobile connectivity in residential areas, neighboring localities, and significant roads in the Rawalpindi-Islamabad region.
