Our technology

A weather forecast,
but for radio waves

No on-the-ground phone testing. No operator-provided data. We simulate signal propagation from real antennas - calibrated with tens of thousands of real measurements collected in the field.

The principle

Three steps from antenna to API

  1. 01Data ingestion

    We locate every antenna

    We collect the exact position and technical characteristics of every 3G, 4G and 5G antenna from 21 official national regulators (ANFR, ANATEL, ACMA, ISED, UKE, MSIT and more) and the OpenCellID global database - over 40 million antennas indexed worldwide.

  2. 02Propagation model

    We simulate how signal travels

    From each antenna, our algorithm computes signal propagation in 3D - accounting for terrain elevation, buildings, distance and atmospheric conditions. Every square metre gets a computed signal quality score.

  3. 03Ground truth

    We calibrate with real measurements

    Tens of thousands of real-world bitrate tests, crowdsourced and lab-verified, tune our model. The result is a map that matches what users actually experience on the ground - not theoretical maximums.

Our sources

Public, verifiable, auditable

We rely exclusively on official regulatory databases and open datasets - no proprietary operator feeds, no black-box signals. All 21 live countries ship a first-party antenna dataset built from official sources.

Algorithm history

Four generations of improvements

  1. 2020V1

    The foundations

    First propagation model. Theoretical maximum bitrate per operator in 3G and 4G.

  2. 2022V2

    5G and real-world load

    Added 5G. Factored in real antenna congestion. Calibrated against field measurements.

  3. 2024V3

    Going 3D

    3D distance model accounting for building height and antenna tilt.

  4. 2026V4Current

    Terrain matters

    Full terrain-aware propagation. Substantially higher precision in hilly and urban areas.
