Building on our experience with nationwide testing and benchmarking projects, we’re proud to be a part of Smartphone magazine’s recent benchmarking project across Germany. Working alongside Dalmus Consulting, we provided our AutoMobile drive test units to evaluate the country’s three largest mobile network operators.

The AutoMobiles travelled over 15,000kms around Germany rating Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and O2 across metrics including video, gaming and voice experience as well as data speeds, coverage and customer sentiment. The hundreds of thousands of data points collected in just a matter of months helped to provide independent insight into service provision for German consumers.
