Using a comprehensive benchmarking tool, PTA collected over 44,000 voice calls and more than 117,000 data sessions during the second quarter of 2025 to evaluate performance metrics such as download/upload speeds, latency, and signal strength.
The survey was carried out through specialized mobile drive test tools and software installed in vehicles to ensure real-world performance evaluation under consistent and standardized conditions.
