Key parameters for voice assessment included call setup success rate, drop call rate, call setup time, call silence rate and speech quality measured as mean opinion score together with coverage. Data services were assessed for download and upload throughput, latency, jitter, packet drop rate and video streaming delay. The tests used TRAI calibrated equipment and standardised protocols in real?time environments and the authority indicated that the detailed report is available on the TRAI website.
