Pakistan’s internet users are set for a speed upgrade. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has approved the 6 GHz frequency band for Wi-Fi 7 and all future Wi-Fi generations. This decision, made on September 26, 2025, opens the door to quicker, more reliable wireless networks across the country.
The band spans 5925–6425 MHz, matching the standards already in place for Wi-Fi 6E. PTA’s move puts Pakistan among the first in Asia-Pacific to embrace this tech, highlighting the nation’s focus on digital growth.

What Wi-Fi 7 Brings to the Table
Wi-Fi 7 promises top-notch performance. It delivers super-fast data rates, tiny delays, and steady connections even in busy spots. This helps cut costs on broadband by easing the load on older bands.
Homes, small businesses, schools, hospitals, and smart city projects stand to gain. More devices can connect without slowdowns, making daily tasks smoother.
PTA says this fits their goal to close the digital gap and build strong networks. It supports a safe, modern economy for all.
A Step Ahead in the Region
Pakistan now leads in the Asia-Pacific pack for this upgrade. Earlier, in May 2024, PTA unlocked the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi 6E, setting the stage for Wi-Fi 7.
The authority’s steady push shows commitment to innovation. It helps local firms and users keep up with global changes.
