Jazz, Pakistan's first 4G operator, and a major Internet and broadband service provider have released the first Pakistani 800G connectivity technology to its network, which expands existing user experience for data services. Currently, the 800G Transport Lambda holds live customer traffic throughout the city of Karachi and plans are underway for further expansion.

With a core network capacity of 3.7 Tbps, 800G Transport Lambda will benefit customers by increasing the data carrying capacity leading to an improved user experience for data services.
