5G Signal Coverage Heatmap

This dataset provides granular, geolocated measurements of 5G signal strength and quality across urban environments, including network operator, cell tower, frequency band, and measurement context. It enables telecom engineers and researchers to analyze coverage gaps, optimize infrastructure, and benchmark network performance for urban planning and product development.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Signal strength measured in dBm per location
  • Data includes timestamp and device type
  • Coverage gaps tagged with environmental factors
  • Minimum three readings per location
  • Anomalies flagged if deviation exceeds 15%
