In an effort to promote tourism in the area, a 4G BaseTransceiver Station (BTS) has been installed at the K2 base camp area of Concordia, according to a The News report published Tuesday.
The site has been named Ali Sadpara in memory of the late mountaineer who lost his life during the winter expedition of the world’s most treacherous peak earlier this year.
The step was taken to provide better communication facilities to mountaineers and trekkers.
Mobile coverage and internet access will prove pivotal for mountaineers and trekking groups to stay connected with their families and assist in emergency situations.
