Carrier data from Opensignal is integrated into the GSA GAMBoD database of networks, technology, and spectrum.
The Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) and Opensignal have entered into an information and resource sharing agreement. The agreement will integrate Opensignal’s mobile network experience data from 165 carriers in 80 countries into GSA’s GAMBoD database of networks, technology and spectrum. The companies will use combined metrics to analyze the status and user experience of 4G and 5G networks and devices to enhance their respective industry reports.
Barry Graham, president of market impact at Opensignal, explained that “models, simulations, and predictive measures” of network performance are not enough when trying to measure the “true user experience.”
“Integrating this data into GSA’s GAMBoD database of networks, technologies, and spectrum around the world is necessary not only for where 5G is being deployed, but also for where 5G is delivering on its promise. “This is an important step in providing a comprehensive view of the mobile ecosystem,” he continued.
Specifically, by combining the resources of both organizations, Opensignal will have access to 545 public 5G networks in deployment, evaluation, testing, and trials around the world, as well as networks currently in the planning or licensing stages. GSA data will be available in . . Using data from Opensignal, we augment the GAMBoD database and associated GSA reports with country-based data on 5G network availability, 5G gaming and video experiences, and data on average 5G download and upload speeds. can be included. “Users of the GAMBoD database, available to all GSA members and stakeholders, can explore data categorized by region, country, and operator and create their own graphs for use in their own documents and presentations. ,” the companies said. said.
The new 5G Experience Report, scheduled to be published this month, will be the first GSA report to incorporate Opensignal data and will be available to GSA members and stakeholders.
“An accurate understanding of the 4G and 5G landscape around the world is a critical resource for telecom regulators, mobile operators, vendors and analysts,” summarized Joe Barrett, President of the Global Mobile Suppliers Association. Did.
