The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has named the site of first-ever cellphone tower at the K2 base camp after late Pakistani mountaineer Ali Sadpara.
The PTA said that it was focusing on improving
telecommunication services in areas full of tourism potential.
The 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) was installed at the K2 base camp area of Concordia in April. It aims to provide better communication facilities to mountaineers and trekkers.
