Coverage Maps for Local Government
We equip UK councils with independent mobile signal data. Identify not-spots, empower local residents with accurate coverage insights, and guide planning with Streetwave’s trusted coverage maps.
Revealing the Truth About Mobile Coverage Across Local Authorities
Streetwave helps councils close the gap between national coverage promises and real-world mobile experience. Our independent signal maps show where connectivity falls short—in towns, estates, railway lines, rural communities, and tourist locations.
Used by over 100 councils, Streetwave supports funding bids, informs planning policy, and helps local teams hold providers accountable. Whether you're advancing levelling-up priorities or planning new infrastructure, Streetwave empowers you to understand mobile network performance across your jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Streetwave highlights the same areas that face exclusion from services or infrastructure investment. Councils use our data to overlay signal coverage with economic, transport, and demographic data—creating joined-up digital inclusion strategies that target real need.
Yes. Our maps are often attached to successful bids. They show independent proof of need, which strengthens applications for SRN, levelling-up grants, and community fibre funds.
No. While GIS teams can work with raw data, most users access Streetwave via dashboards or reports. These tools are built for planning officers, councillors, and residents to use without needing deep technical training.
We can map any area, rural or urban. Currently we’ve been commissioned to map over 100 local authorities across all UK nations. Coverage expands monthly as new council partners come onboard. From city boroughs to remote counties, we map the places that matter to local leaders.
