| Summary: | The coverage data is supplied in two folders to differentiate the two sources of data: Data_MCE and Data_OCI. Coverages in the Data_MCE folder have been sourced directly from the network operators. However, not every operator has submitted data and so there are inevitable gaps in coverage. Data in the Data_OCI folder has been created using OpenCellID tower locations. The data is made available in GeoTIFF 2-BIT raster format with pre-built pyramids. The map projection used is Web Mercator (EPSG:3857), with a nominal resolution of approximately 260 metres on the ground at the equator. Information on the individual networks included in the MCE and OCI data folders is provided as an Excel spreadsheet called Mobile Coverage Explorer Metadata.xlsx. Data is available from the years 2010-2020.
Mobile Coverage Explorer is a representation of the area covered by mobile networks around the world. It is supplied as raster data which has been created from submissions made directly to Collins Bartholomew or the GSMA from network operators who provide roaming detail for inclusion in the GSMA’s Network Coverage Maps web application. This data is supplemented with coverage created from OpenCellID, the world's largest open database of cell towers.
