Pakistan Telecom, IT, Tech updates

Mobile operators have upgraded a total of 1,136 sites to 5G across Pakistan.

The development indicates that operators are making substantial investments in expanding next-generation mobile connectivity despite the absence of a specific government-mandated FDI target linked to 5G deployment.

The government had conducted the 5G spectrum auction in March 2026, paving the way for commercial rollout of next-generation mobile services in the country.

Nayatel S3 Object Storage for Pakistani Businesses Managing Large-Scale Data​

By Sponsored | Published Aug 24, 2026 | 1:58 pm

As Pakistani businesses generate more data than ever before, the need for reliable, affordable, and locally hosted storage has become a pressing concern. Nayatel has responded with the launch of its S3 Object Storage service, a cloud storage solution built for modern businesses that need to store, access, and manage large volumes of data without relying on international providers.

What Is S3 Object Storage​

S3 Object Storage is a type of cloud storage designed to handle any kind of data at scale, from documents and business records to large media files, application data, and AI training datasets. Unlike traditional file storage, object storage is built to grow without limits, making it a natural fit for businesses dealing with continuously expanding data needs.

Nayatel’s implementation is hosted entirely within Pakistan, giving businesses faster access to their data, stronger compliance with local data regulations, and full ownership and control over what they store.

Pricing and Setup​

The service is billed at PKR 15 per GB per month with no setup costs and no hidden charges. Businesses pay only for what they use, which makes it accessible for startups managing modest datasets as well as enterprises storing terabytes of critical information.

Security and Reliability​

All data stored on Nayatel’s S3 Object Storage is protected with AES-256 encryption, applied
during both upload and storage. The infrastructure is backed by Nayatel’s high-speed fiber network and supported by a team of experts available around the clock. Enterprise-grade uptime and dedicated monitoring ensure data remains accessible whenever it is needed.

Who Can Use It​

The range of use cases is broad. Businesses can use it for off-site backup and disaster
recovery, media companies can store and deliver large video and audio files, development
teams can use it as scalable backend storage for applications, and organisations managing
surveillance footage or IoT data from connected devices will find it equally capable. It is also well suited for document archiving, where businesses need to maintain compliance-ready records over the long term, and for AI and machine learning teams that need a reliable home for large training datasets.

Why Local Hosting Matters​

For Pakistani businesses, storing data on international platforms often means dealing with currency exchange costs, data transfer fees, and servers that are physically far from their users.

Nayatel’s locally hosted infrastructure removes these friction points entirely. Data stays within
Pakistan, access speeds are faster, and businesses avoid the unpredictability of
dollar-denominated billing.

Be careful with cloud storage. PBS (USA company ) recently lost access to 50TB of data from its cloud storage provider !


Make sure you have redundancy in your data, by having a different data provide as backup etc.
