About Streetwave
Mobile coverage maps in unparalleled detail.
Streetwave provides mobile network coverage maps in unparalleled detail. Unlike crowdsourced data or modelled predictions, our data shows real-world network performance readings for all mobile operators across every address in the regions we survey.
That means zero dependency on consumers, zero privacy concerns and zero blind spots. Our methodology ensures that we are the trusted source for mobile coverage intelligence worldwide.
We are building the most comprehensive nationwide mobile coverage maps ever made, covering every road and every railway line.

To be the trusted source of mobile coverage intelligence worldwide.

Common questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
Our leadership team has decades of experience in telecoms, infrastructure strategy and data science. We've built and advised national-scale deployments. We understand the complexity of networks and the demands of public sector delivery, and built Streetwave to bridge those worlds.
Streetwave doesn't rely on app users to collect intermittent and sparse readings for us. We physically collect our own data following industry best-practices and a consistent methodology. This controlled approach ensures we collect the highest quality data across all road, rail or pedestrian areas. All our data is captured from our own handsets, and we only use handsets that contain modern chipsets, for example Samsung Galaxy S24s.
