Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 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
  • License ID and regulatory authority (FCC, Ofcom, ACMA, etc.)
  • Frequency band: low-band (<1GHz), mid-band (1-6GHz), high-band/mmWave (>24GHz)
  • Specific frequencies: start and end frequency (MHz/GHz)
  • Bandwidth allocated (MHz): channel size for deployment
  • Technology: 4G LTE, 5G NR, legacy 2G/3G
  • Geographic coverage: nationwide, regional (PEA, EA), market-specific
  • License term: start date, expiration date, renewal eligibility
  • Acquisition method: auction, assignment, secondary market purchase
