Hello Beijing! Pakistan makes first-ever 5G video call to China


SISLAMABAD – Pakistan on Wednesday inched one step closer to launch fastest 5G technology for cellular phone users as Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecom Amin ul Haque made the country’s first ever 5G experimental video call to China.
The experiment, which was conducted at an event held by Zong, remained successful as the minister held conversation with Beijing people on the call.

A tweet shared by the ministry says, “The First ever fastest 5-G video call experiment has been carried out successfully in Pakistan. Federal Minister of IT and Telecommunication @SyedAminulHaque using #Zong4G made a 5G video call to Beijing today”.

In January this year, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) issued 5G test licences to two telecom operators – Jazz and Zong – with a validity of six months.

that’s good. But I’m thinking what uses will it serve in Pakistan ?

Any military use ? Any use at industrial, medical use ? Or just for people to say hello hi ?
I hope we don’t become smart connected zombie :partay:

Data speeds have implications far beyond your day to day zoom calls.
Why do you think has the US gone nuclear on Huawei? It certainly is not because Chinese exporters can get on a fast call with clients for exports :P

5G is not just about phones. It's going to impact industries and how they communicate, monitor, and process information.

As someone who researches in 5G, i think the industry have hurried it. Its the case with every technology nowadays. Corporations in order to make profit, hurries in new technologies without them being fully matured, integrated or their need arising.

Pakistan will remain a borderline tech enabled country regardless of 5g because here technical education and expertise are not valued.. what does a new university grad get in a technical job. 20k, 25k a month ? That's hardly 125 to 150 dollars a month.. or 5 dollars a day.. a taxi driver here earns more than that....my butler here gets that figure..why would someone go technical if he can earn more in business.

Then why don't these people themselves make an effort and learn the skills which are high in demand and provide their services as freelancers to off-shore clients. The problem is at both the ends, institutions who are providing the out-dated education in form of snake oil and young people who are not ready to make any extra effort themselves.

Yes, life is not always fair. The wage rates are terribly disheartening but what is the alternative? Either starve to death or improvise and find another way.
I don't have to, they're dying already.

Mr.ChatraPati are you from an IT sector? :D
