5G will unfold a new digital revolution in the country as the test has put Pakistan on the elite list of countries which have conducted the 5G trial successfully.

According to sources, 5G will be soon launched in Pakistan with a speed of 100 times than the current available.

The network will be 10 times faster than existing broadband connections available in the country.

5G home router’s speed has been recorded as four gigabytes per second with means that it can download 50 GB of file in just two minutes.

The experts are of the view that the speed of the network will depend on the spectrum available to the operator.
