Tutela, an independent crowdsourced data company, announced a new free service offering for telecoms regulators, created to help monitor and improve mobile networks around the world.
The offering, which comprises of a data service and analytics tools, is designed to help regulators to assess how networks in a country are performing from the perspective of real users, as well as provide insight into how well mobile network operators are performing against coverage expectations. The data shows not just where coverage exists, but how reliable it is and the quality of experience it provides to consumers.
Tutela's regulator offering covers a number of the most critical QoS measures including throughput speeds, signal quality and coverage. Regulators around the world can connect directly to the dataset and integrate with their own tools and systems, or use the included analysis and visualisation tools. The dataset enables analysis across all countries, and all operators with the ability to drill-down to specific areas to identify potential performance issues - both in rural and urban areas. These measurements span all wireless network types including WiFi, 3G and 4G networks (and soon, 5G), including insights into download throughput, upload throughput, latency, signal strength and data usage, as well as Tutela’s core metric – Consistent Quality.

By providing regulators with a free way to access and use our data, we hope to provide them with greater insight into how mobile network operators in their region are performing, including for key uses like monitoring spectrum licence obligations, or measuring user quality of experience on different networks.
