Rail Network Connectivity Solutions
Streetwave helps UK rail operators map mobile signal across lines and tunnels. Track coverage, prove compliance, and improve passenger connectivity with trusted data.
Real-Time Mobile Coverage for UK Rail Networks
Streetwave helps rail operators map and monitor mobile signal across Britain’s railways—from open track to tunnels and platforms. Our data reveals where passengers experience dropouts and enables smarter investment in infrastructure upgrades.
With impartial, on-the-ground signal intelligence, we support compliance with Department for Transport (DfT) goals while helping operators improve user experience along every journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rail environments create unique barriers to coverage. Tunnels, cuttings, and deep rural paths often block signal propagation. Even high-traffic routes can suffer dropouts due to poor mast placement. Streetwave pinpoints these signal weaknesses to guide infrastructure fixes.
Yes. Our data supports evidence-based reporting for DfT connectivity initiatives. Operators use Streetwave to benchmark onboard coverage, prepare grant submissions, and document rollout success across different lines.
Where possible, yes. Streetwave captures tunnel data via dedicated probe runs and controlled sampling. While deep-level sections may show zero signal, our maps reflect the most accurate available picture of sub-surface coverage.
We offer GIS-ready files, browser-based dashboards, and PDF exports. Rail planning, technical, and investment teams all benefit from tailored outputs that slot into their existing workflows.
