ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) after extensive consultation with the relevant stakeholders has officially published the Framework for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 2024.

The framework designates specific unlicensed frequency bands, including the 2.4 Gigahertz (GHz), 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, for WLAN usage.  PTA announced a 6 GHz spectrum band for unlicensed operation for RLAN in Pakistan in May 2024.

The introduction of the WLAN framework underscores PTA’s commitment to establishing a robust regulatory environment that enables safe and effective utilization of unlicensed spectrum.

This initiative is expected to benefit both importers and local manufacturers of WLAN equipment by providing clear technical guidelines and facilitating the import and distribution of compliant devices in Pakistan. Consumers can expect an improved wireless experience, with better coverage and connectivity in homes, offices, and public spaces, enhancing digital access and promoting the adoption of modern technologies.

To ensure compliance with technical and operational standards, the framework outlines detailed regulatory guidelines for WLAN operations. For further information and to access the complete framework, please visit PTA’s official website.
