PTA instructs to carry out firewall work in off-peak hours following complaints of slow internet

Pakistan’s firewall upgrade project is advancing quickly.
Efforts are focused on enhancing both local and international gateways.

PTA sources confirm new firewall components will be installed at critical points in Pakistan.

To avoid internet slowdowns, firewall work is being done during off-peak hours.

The PTA plans large-scale trials after thorough limited-scale testing to ensure system stability.

Challenges include outdated telecom equipment and compatibility issues with the new firewall.

PTA acknowledges technical difficulties but is committed to overcoming them for improved cybersecurity.
