Collected over many years
Since 2010, we have compiled annual network coverage data, offering a valuable historical perspective on mobile network expansion.
Enhanced with open-source data
To enrich our coverage insights, we integrate an open-source dataset that interpolates cell tower locations, providing additional coverage layers.
