Maximum Number of Flood Affected Telecom Sites Restored
Islamabad (5th Sep 2022): Continued efforts by PTA and telecom operators to restore connectivity in flood affected areas has resulted in further reduction of non-functional sites count to 339 (0.6% of the total sites across the country). Moreover, optical fiber backhaul to provide nation-wide connectivity has been fully restored.
PTA will continue to update the public about the restoration of left over sites. Currently, non-functional sites are inaccessible due to flood water but other operational sites in the vicinity ensure that there is no communication blackout.
