KARACHI: The Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and Paksat signed a strategic partnership to develop and deliver state-of-the-art integrated satellite services in addressing the ever-evolving national needs of the public and private sectors of the country, a statement said on Tuesday.

Under the partnership, PTCL will be able to provide its national and international customers with a seamless connectivity through Pakistan-owned satellites, which are connected with the redundant satellite hubs and the largest fibre backbone across Pakistan.
Through this initiative, the PTCL will enable Paksat as its partner for the national satellite bandwidth requirements, while Paksat will support it in deployment of the existing services of Paksat, as well as their upcoming innovative services.
This partnership will ensure installation of satellite projects with a special focus on the satellite gateway of Ka-Band and internet of things (IoT) space.
Paksat CEO Sadaquat Liaquat said: “Together PTCL and Paksat will be able to bridge the digital divide in Pakistan by connecting businesses and communities in the underserved areas. With the new satellite MM1 coming online, this will prove to be the key enabler of digital transformation in Pakistan.”
“This technology will also help [the] corporate sector and [the] government institutions in the areas of IoT, telemetry and high-speed internet, where PTCL already has a vast experience.”
PTCL continues to develop such partnerships that enable innovation and transformation to realise the vision of a digital Pakistan.
