Data quality and limitations

  • Completeness: Complete for reporting period 2026-H1 (data date 2026-06-30).
  • Coverage confidence: Limited
  • Modelled versus measured: Mobile figures in this prototype are modelled predictions. Measured drive-test data is not included.
  • Missing submissions: 2 of 4 demonstration operators did not report for this period.
  • Source: Local synthetic demonstration dataset. Not an official CA statistic.

Some information is not shown in Public View

Precise infrastructure locations, operator-level submissions and quality-of-service measurements are classified above Public. Switch the prototype view to see how they would appear to authorised users.
