The Assessment of Mobile Network Operators’ Compliance with Licence Obligations (Coverage) presents a summary of the results of the Commission for Communication Regulation’s (“ComReg”) Drive Testing Programme (“Drive Test”) carried out between 16 November 2016 and 17 December 2016, by its contractor Advanced Wireless Technologies Group Limited (“AWTG”).
The Drive Tests are carried out across all of the relevant frequency bands and licence types simultaneously in order to assess the Mobile Network Operators’ (“MNO”) compliance with the obligations of their respective licences.
The MNOs that currently hold licences in Ireland are:
- Three Ireland Hutchison Limited (“3IHL”);
- Meteor Mobile Communications Limited (“Meteor”); and
- Vodafone Ireland Limited (“Vodafone”).
The Drive Test represents a snapshot of how the individual MNOs networks performed in relation to each of its licence conditions at the point in time during which the test was conducted.
