Pakistan CMOs Begin Commercial Deployment of 5G Services

Pakistan has updated its National Frequency Allocation Plan to support the expansion of Next Generation Mobile Services (NGMS) and align with international standards, impacting both cellular and short-range device manufacturers. Key developments include the commercial launch of 5G services on 19 March 2026, requiring devices to meet local band specifications for PTA approval, the use of the 920–925 MHz band for RFID (which may require hardware adjustments), and the continuation of strict type approval requirements covering SAR, emissions, and frequency stability. These changes are critical for ensuring compliance and shaping product development and market entry strategies.
