Pakistan Frees 600+ MHz Spectrum to Speed Up 5G Auction

Pakistan has taken a big leap toward launching 5G services as the Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) freed more than 600 MHz of spectrum for the upcoming auction. This was achieved through cooperation with defense forces and re-farming of existing bands. By clearing valuable spectrum, Pakistan is now preparing the foundation for faster internet, better connectivity, and digital innovations that will transform communication and industries nationwide.

Spectrum Bands Cleared for Auction

The released spectrum includes 700 MHz and 2300 MHz bands, along with 285 MHz in the globally preferred 3500 MHz mid-band. To ensure quality, FAB conducted nationwide monitoring surveys, blocked illegal links, and coordinated with neighboring countries to minimize cross-border interference. These efforts created a cleaner frequency environment, giving telecom operators the chance to deliver stable, high-capacity 5G services across Pakistan without interference or disruptions.

Spectrum Bands Approved for 5G Auction

Frequency Band Availability Notes
700 MHz 2×15 MHz Low-band, better coverage
1800 MHz 2×3.6 MHz Under litigation
2100 MHz 2×20 MHz Partial disputes pending
2300 MHz 50 MHz High-capacity band
2600 MHz 194 MHz 140 MHz under litigation
3500 MHz 285 MHz Prime 5G mid-band
24 GHz 3.082 GHz High-frequency mmWave
39 GHz 4 GHz Ultra-high capacity

Details of Available Frequencies

A total of 606 MHz of spectrum has been cleared for auction, although 161.6 MHz remains tied up in litigation, mostly within the 2600 MHz band. Lower bands, like 700 MHz, are suitable for broad coverage, while mid-bands, such as 3500 MHz, ensure strong speed and reliability. The high-frequency 24 GHz and 39 GHz bands provide ultra-fast performance, enabling future-ready applications including Internet of Things (IoT), automation, and smart city infrastructure.

Litigation Challenges and Delays

Despite this progress, challenges remain. Spectrum disputes in the 2600 MHz band and partial conflicts in the 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands could slow auction timelines. If unresolved, these cases may restrict operator participation and affect competition. Quick resolution of these legal matters is crucial for a fair, transparent, and timely auction that ensures all telecom players can benefit from Pakistan’s 5G rollout opportunities.

Government’s Role in Auction Preparations

The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom informed Parliament that it is actively addressing two main concerns before the auction. The first is the PTCL and Telenor merger, which needs regulatory clarity. The second is pending litigation over disputed spectrum. Officials stressed the urgency of fast action to guarantee Pakistan does not miss global 5G timelines and can compete with regional digital advancements.

5G’s Importance for Pakistan’s Future

The launch of 5G will revolutionize Pakistan’s digital economy by enabling high-speed connectivity for businesses, education, healthcare, and entertainment. Faster mobile internet and new technologies like artificial intelligence and cloud computing will boost innovation. With industries adopting smart solutions, productivity will increase significantly. By freeing spectrum and addressing challenges, Pakistan is preparing for a powerful 5G future, opening doors to opportunities for growth and digital transformation.
