GILGIT: The Special Communications Organisation (SCO) has successfully tested 5G services, marking a key milestone in Gilgit-Baltistan’s digital progress and advancing the region toward nextgeneration high-speed internet connectivity.
According to an official statement by the company, on Saturday, the launch is expected to open new opportunities in areas including information technology, e-commerce, online education, telemedicine, tourism and digital entrepreneurship, particularly for the region’s young population.
The development also fulfils, at the operational level, a demand that had gained momentum during the nationwide 5G rollout earlier this year, when questions were raised about the inclusion of Gilgit-Baltistan in the new technology.
