ISLAMABAD: The federal government has approved the three-year “Rolling Spectrum Strategy 2020-2023” to ensure faster telecom network speed.
According to a press release issued here on Wednesday, the Spectrum Master Plan has been developed by incorporating international best practices that are applicable to Pakistan.
The plan provides a future roadmap for spectrum allocation as well as spectrum-related policy reviews that are anticipated to take place between 2020 and 2023.
The report has helped Ministry of IT & Telecom (MoIT&T), Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) in formulating the three-year rolling spectrum strategy – a key area highlighted in the Telecommunications Policy 2015.
The publication of the spectrum roadmap helps commercial operators with their network planning investments.
It may be mentioned here that there is a need to review the plan every three years to ensure that the plan continues to be relevant.
The report is prepared with collective efforts of Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoIT&T), Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), and Frequency Allocation Board (FAB).
