On This Day in 1994, Mobilink Launched Pakistan’s First GSM Mobile Network

On August 8, 1994, Mobilink took a major step forward by introducing Pakistan’s first GSM mobile network, setting the stage for modern communication in the country.

This significant achievement was made possible through a collaboration between the Motorola Network Management Group and the Saif Group. At the time of its launch, Mobilink started with just 8 cell sites in Lahore, yet it managed to transform how people in the city communicated. This marked the beginning of a new era in Pakistan’s telecom history.

The launch was accompanied by an advert that captured the excitement and promise of this technological breakthrough. Over the years, Mobilink has continued to expand and innovate, leaving a lasting impact on the telecom industry in Pakistan. What began with a small number of cell sites has grown into a nationwide network, making Mobilink a key player in connecting millions of people across the country.
