The latest acquisition takes Jazz\u2019s spectrum holdings from 94.4 MHz to a total of 284.4MHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ad powered by advergic.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Pakistan prepares for the rollout of 5G and the next phase of its digital evolution, Jazz has strengthened its multi-band spectrum portfolio by acquiring holdings across four key frequency bands. The acquisition includes\u00a050 MHz in the 3500 MHz band, 70 MHz in the 2600 MHz band, and 50 MHz in the 2300 MHz band. Moreover, it also includes\u00a020 MHz in the highly sought-after 700 MHz band, which is particularly well-suited for wide-area coverage and will play a critical role in extending high-quality connectivity to rural and underserved communities across Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is pertinent to note that, on average, a Pakistani customer used&nbsp;8 GB of data&nbsp;during the last fiscal year, whereas the regional average is about&nbsp;20 GB. Nearly&nbsp;40% of subscribers still lack access to 4G, and about&nbsp;a quarter remain without mobile broadband, highlighting the urgent need for continued investment to expand foundational connectivity across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The additional capacity will enhance network performance and support the continued expansion of nationwide 4G coverage, while paving the way for the phased introduction of 5G capabilities in key urban and enterprise environments. All deployments will remain aligned with market readiness and fully compliant with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority\u2019s (PTA) rollout obligations and regulatory framework for the newly acquired spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aamir Ibrahim, CEO JazzWorld, said, \u201cWe appreciate the Government of Pakistan, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT), and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) for conducting a historic spectrum auction that strengthens the foundation of Pakistan\u2019s digital future. This spectrum acquisition reinforces JazzWorld\u2019s digital ambition as we evolve into a full-scale ServiceCo, enabling us to progressively introduce 5G where it creates real value while expanding high-quality 4G connectivity for the masses. Our continued investments reflect our long-term confidence in Pakistan and our purpose of enabling a better life for all through technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition adds to Jazz\u2019s long-standing investment in Pakistan\u2019s digital infrastructure. Over the past three decades, the company has invested more than USD 11 billion in building and modernizing the country\u2019s connectivity ecosystem. This continued investment also supports Jazz\u2019s continued evolution into JazzWorld \u2013 a robust digital ecosystem serving over 100 million customers \u2013 reflecting the company\u2019s confidence in Pakistan\u2019s digital future and its purpose of enabling a better life for all through technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/2026\/03\/10\/jazz-secures-190-mhz-spectrum-to-accelerate-pakistans-5g-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/2026\/03\/10\/jazz-secures-190-mhz-spectrum-to-accelerate-pakistans-5g-future\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jazz, Pakistan\u2019s leading connectivity provider from JazzWorld, today announced that it has secured 190 MHz of additional spectrum in Pakistan\u2019s latest spectrum auction for a total sum of USD 239.375 million, reinforcing its long-term commitment to strengthening the country\u2019s digital infrastructure.
