A high-speed wireless telephone and Internet facility, WiMax Service will be launched nationwide next month for the first time in the country, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) Chairman Shahzada Alam Malik said on Thursday.
“The infrastructure developed for Wimax Service in Pakistan is the biggest in the world,” he said while speaking at a mobile phone company’s license extension ceremony. The PTA chairman said the Wireless Local Loop (WLL) licence holders in 3.5 gega hertz (GHz) frequency have now established their networks using WiMax technology after issuance of commencement certificates by the authority.
Mr Alam said the authority has issued the certificates to Burraq Telecom, Wateen Telecom and MyTel, to start their operations across the country next month.
