ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has revoked the license of Huawei Technologies Pakistan (Private) Limited related to tracking its vehicle fleet in the country, the authority said in a statement.

Earlier, several reports alleged that the telecom authority suspended Huawei Pakistan’s operational license in Pakistan for failing to meet mandatory regulatory requirements.

However, the PTA issued a clarification, stating that Huawei Pakistan’s overall service provision has not been suspended in the country, but the license for vehicle tracking services.

The telecom regulator said that Huawei Technologies (Private) Limited was granted Data CVAS License No. DIR(L)/CVAS-877-PTA/2017 for tracking its vehicle fleet in Pakistan.

“The company, however, did not commence the intended operations, and the license was accordingly suspended solely due to non-commencement of services,” it said.

PTA clarified that this suspension applies exclusively to the “aforementioned license for vehicle tracking services” and has no impact on any other operations provided by Huawei Technologies (Private) Limited to telecom operators in Pakistan. All other operational engagements remain unaffected and continue as usual.”

The suspension will only affect Huawei’s internal-use license for fleet tracking, not commercial services.
