TRAI Evaluates Telecom Service in Nine Cities

06 Mar 2025 CW Team

In December 2024, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) conducted Independent Drive Tests (IDT) across nine cities, highways, and railway routes, including Aligarh, Bhubaneswar, Jammu, Lucknow, Navi Mumbai, Raipur, Siliguri, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Vapi-Rewari Highway. The tests aimed to assess the quality of voice and data services provided by telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel, BSNL/MTNL, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea using various technologies like 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G.

The drive tests evaluated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for both voice and data services, including the call setup success rate, drop call rate (DCR), speech quality, packet drop rate, and signal coverage for voice services. For data services, the focus was on download/upload speeds, latency, jitter, packet drop rate, and video streaming delay.

The results of the tests offer valuable insights into the network performance of telecom providers in these regions, with the goal of enhancing service quality and overall connectivity.
