Islamabad — October 21, 2025: In a landmark move for Pakistan’s digital transformation, Jazz, the country’s leading digital operator, has partnered with DynaSys Networks to launch Pakistan’s first city-wide Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) in Lahore. This initiative marks a defining step toward building Smart Cities across the country, with nationwide expansion already underway.
Unlike traditional connectivity frameworks, LoRaWAN technology enables low-power, long-range, and scalable deployments, opening possibilities across sectors — from smart agriculture and environmental monitoring to industrial automation and urban planning. The new network is designed to power Internet of Things (IoT) applications that can transform how cities operate and how citizens interact with technology.
“This is a defining moment in our journey to build a truly digital Pakistan,” said Chaudhary Shahzad Rasheed, President Enterprise Solutions at Jazz.
“The launch of LoRaWAN is key to unlocking the potential of IoT — transforming how businesses operate and communities thrive. By enabling seamless access to real-time data, Jazz is driving innovation that will shape Pakistan’s digital future.”
Ali Akhtar, Founder & CEO of DynaSys Networks, added:
“Our collaboration with Jazz brings together their nationwide digital reach and our IoT expertise to create a powerful platform for a smarter Pakistan. We invite enterprises, institutions, and government bodies to join us in leveraging this technology to unlock growth, efficiency, and sustainability.”
The new LoRaWAN infrastructure is fully compliant with the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s (PTA) IoT licensing framework, with all systems hosted locally to ensure data privacy, security, and sovereignty.
By fostering an open, collaborative ecosystem, Jazz and DynaSys aim to position Pakistan at the forefront of IoT innovation — enabling smart infrastructure, environmental intelligence, and data-driven decision-making for a more sustainable and connected future.
