It will rank all operators and also reveal how each operator has developed over time – regarding growing consumer expectations and gaps that needed to be addressed with further investments.
“With our benchmarks, we analyse the data and produce informative insights that will help the network operators to ensure the best performance quality and efficiency possible”, says Hakan Ekmen, CEO P3.
Marc-Oliver Bender, Editor-in-Chief connect, adds: “Together with P3, we are well prepared to accompany the future development of the Swedish market and to include everything that is necessary to measure new mobile communications technologies like the upcoming superfast 5G networks.”
P3’s approach combines drive testing, walk testing and also crowdsourcing giving operators a full 360-degree view of their networks, while reflecting the true user experience with regards to voice quality and data performance.
For the first time, in this year’s benchmark in Sweden, crowdsource-based data will be an integral part of the total score. The data is continuously collected all year, 24/7, way beyond the weeks and the planned routes of drive- and walk-tests. The crowdsource component allows P3 to get more real-time feedback on performance while extending the reach of evaluation of the tested networks in time and geography.
