4G Measurement Survey Results for Q1 2016

4G Mobile Service Coverage in Q1 2016

Nationwide Outdoor Service Coverage

This indicator measures Nationwide Outdoor Service Coverage for the 4G cellular network. Outdoor 4G mobile service coverage is the ability of a cellular network to achieve a minimum signal strength of at least -109dBm. The outdoor areas surveyed by IDA include all main roads, as well as areas such as housing estates/town centres, outdoor recreational areas and above ground MRT tracks. In order to better reflect end users' experience, IDA had used mobile handsets to collect signal strength sample readings for all mobile service coverage indicators.
