As per PTA, Wi-Fi 7 will provide the highest data rates in Pakistan, providing superior performance for applications like high-definition video streaming, AR/VR, and industrial automation.

The authority added that the new technology will also reduce broadband prices, alleviate congestion on current spectrum bands, and enhance network reliability overall. This new technology is likely to benefit homes, businesses, schools, healthcare networks, and smart city projects.

Pakistan positioned itself as one of the pioneering regions in the Asia-Pacific region to adopt this technology by approving Wi-Fi 7. PTA emphasized that Wi-Fi 7 is equipped with extremely fast data speeds, very low latency, and strong connectivity—features required for 8K streaming and other future digital uses. The announcement comes on the heels of the previous release of Wi-Fi 6E, demonstrating Pakistan s continued march toward establishing cutting-edge digital infrastructure.
