The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has conducted Independent Drive Tests (IDT) covering Mirzapur, Chandauli and Mughalsarai Cities of Uttar Pradesh East LSA during the month of July 2025.  The IDT have been designed to capture real-world mobile network performance across diverse usage environments –Urban zones, hotspots, public transport hubs, etc.

TRAI, through its appointed agency, conducted detailed drive tests across 282.5 Kms of City test and 5 kms of walk test in Mirzapur, Chandauli and Mughalsarai between 30^th June to 4^th July 2025. These tests were conducted under the supervision of the TRAI Regional Office, Bhopal.

During drive test, live data and voice sessions were established over 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks using mobile advanced test handsets with SIM cards from all telecom operators. The voice calls and data sessions were monitored and analysed in real-time using state-of-the-art Drive test System. The data collected during the drive test had further been analysed by experts using specialized tools, and the final report is prepared based on this analysis.

During the IDT, following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Voice as well as Data service were assessed for the networks of all Telecom service providers operating in the region:

I.      Voice services:

  a)    Call setup success rate (CSSR)                                        e) Downlink & Uplink packet (voice) drop rate

  b)    Call Setup Time                                                                     f) Call Silence Rate

  c)    Drop call rate (DCR)                                                g) Coverage (%)- Signal strength

  d)    Speech Quality using MOS(mean opinion score)

 

II.      Data Services:

a)        Data Throughput (Downlink and uplink both)           d) Latency

b)        Packet drop rate (Downlink & Uplink)                         e) Jitter

c)        Video streaming delay
