Pakistan is looking for an expert from abroad to help with launching 5G
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), with permission from the Ministry of Finance, has released guidelines for hiring an international expert to help with introducing 5G internet in Pakistan.
They’ve also asked consulting companies to show interest in advising on how to make 5G internet available. This will improve the quality of mobile internet services in the country, making them faster and more reliable.
The Terms of Reference (ToRs) explain what the consultant will do to help introduce 5G internet in Pakistan. They want to make sure they’re using the best practices from around the world that fit Pakistan’s economy, society, and telecom market.
The consultant’s job is to help make sure the rules for releasing 5G internet spectrum are fair and help the country grow economically. They’ll look at things like how much the spectrum is worth and how it’s been used before. They’ll also figure out the best way to introduce 5G, including what it can be used for and how to make money from it.
When it comes to selling the spectrum, they want to make sure it’s fair for everyone involved, whether they’re existing companies or new ones entering the market. They’ll also suggest ways to make sure the companies investing in 5G have a good chance to succeed and help the country develop.
The consultant will also check how ready Pakistan is for 5G and suggest changes to make sure the country’s infrastructure and businesses can handle it.
They’ll look at what other countries in the region are doing with their internet spectrum and suggest ways Pakistan can do better. This might include selling the spectrum in phases and figuring out how much it should cost.
Overall, the consultant will give advice on how to make sure introducing 5G in Pakistan is fair, profitable, and helps the country grow.
The consultant’s job includes creating important documents like the information memorandum and license template. They’ll also help with organizing the spectrum auction, following the plan that everyone agrees on.
They’ll also give advice on how different services like 5G, satellite, and Wi-Fi can work together without causing problems.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) will hire an international consultant based on these terms. The consultant will talk to people in the industry and others who are involved to gather information. Once they finish their work, the spectrum will be ready to be sold in the 5G auction.
