Frequently asked questions
Network benchmarking is a systematic process used to evaluate and compare the performance of various network services and infrastructures. This involves measuring a range of metrics that reflect the quality, efficiency, and reliability of network services. The primary goal of network benchmarking is to provide an objective basis for assessing the performance of a network, understanding how it compares to competitors or industry standards, and identifying areas for improvement.
Benchmarking often includes collecting real‑world data through drive tests and walk tests, analyzing key indicators like coverage, throughput, latency, and call reliability across multiple operators. The insights gained help network providers prioritize upgrades, optimize resources, and demonstrate competitive advantages. Regular benchmarking ensures that a network continues to meet evolving user expectations and remains competitive in a fast‑changing market.
Network benchmarking collects detailed information to assess how well a mobile network performs from both a technical and user perspective. The goal is to understand the overall Quality of Service (QoS) delivered by the network, as well as the Quality of Experience (QoE) as perceived by end users.
These campaigns gather key performance indicators that reflect how reliably and efficiently services are delivered. This includes metrics for coverage, accessibility, retainability, and integrity factors that affect whether users can consistently connect to the network and stay connected without interruption.
Call performance is another critical area. Benchmarking tools measure how often calls are successfully set up, how frequently they drop, and how long it takes to establish a connection. Call quality, blocked call rates, and overall voice experience are also evaluated.
Data services are tested for speed and responsiveness. Measurements typically include download and upload speeds, latency, and how long it takes to load common web pages. These results demonstrate the network's ability to handle everyday tasks, such as browsing, streaming, and file transfers.
In addition to core network functions, benchmarking may also include tests of popular third-party apps. This helps evaluate how over-the-top (OTT) services perform across different network conditions, offering a more complete picture of the user experience.
Wireless network benchmarking is important for understanding the service coverage and quality of competitors, ensuring your network operates competitively.
The insights gained from benchmarking can directly support business and technical goals, including:
- reduce churn by improving user experience
- attract new customers by strengthening network reputation
- find and fix coverage gaps and interoperability issues
- accelerate the rollout of new technologies
- guide where to expand coverage and focus performance improvements
