Teragence

Teragence is a UK-headquartered mobile network analytics company that maps network coverage and signal strength at granular geographic resolution, providing location-specific data on outdoor and indoor signal levels, cell tower coverage, and cell tower locations across licensed operators in Europe and North America^[1][2].

The company's products — Signal Checker, Cell Coverage, and Geo-AI — serve sectors including connected vehicles, IoT, local authorities, real estate, location-based services, and MVNOs^[1]. Teragence describes its approach as a "crowdsource 2.0" methodology, deriving measurements from third-party location-based app publishers and augmenting them with proprietary geospatial algorithms and machine learning^[1][2].

What It Does

Teragence maps all aspects of mobile network performance — coverage, signal strength, and tower-level footprints — as quantitative, transparent, location-specific datasets rather than the qualitative coverage maps published by operators^[1]. The company positions this as competitive network analytics: understanding how any operator's network actually performs in any specific place^[1][2].

Data covers all mobile technologies and licensed operators in Europe and North America, with updates delivered daily and roughly six months of rolling history^[2].

Data And Methodology

Teragence sources raw measurements from third-party location-based app publishers and processes them with proprietary geo-spatial algorithms and machine learning to produce coverage estimates^[2]. The output is granular to H3 level 11, approximately 50 meters, according to the company's profile on the Datarade marketplace^[2].

The company emphasizes transparency on sourcing methodology and states that its datasets contain no permanent identifiers and cannot be used to trace the movement of individuals or groups^[2].

Products

Three product lines are offered^[1]:

Teragence Signal Checker provides numeric mobile signal strength for any operator and technology at any location, available through self-service plans and an API for developers. Teragence Cell Coverage maps the coverage footprint of any cell tower using the company's geo-algorithms. Teragence Geo-AI maps network performance issues at scale for planning purposes^[1]. A related capability supports cellular reverse geocoding — determining a device's likely location from a cell tower ID^[1][2].

Delivery And Pricing

Signal Checker is delivered via web service and API with published plans, while bulk datasets are sold under a pay-what-you-use commercial model tailored by territory and operator^[1][2]. Per Teragence's Datarade listing, dataset pricing is around EUR 50,000 per operator for large markets such as the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, and EUR 25,000 per operator for smaller markets such as Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark, with multi-operator packages negotiable^[2].

Buyers And Use Cases

Stated buyer segments include connected and autonomous vehicle developers, local authorities pursuing digital inclusion and smart city programs, IoT deployers assessing NB-IoT and LTE-M coverage, location-based services firms, real estate and property companies, and MVNOs and connectivity providers^[1]. Towercos use the data to assess sites for new deployments, and operators for network planning and design^[2].

Named users include sensor networks firm Telraam, environmental sensing company UDlive — which reports 15% net deployment cost savings from pre-checking connectivity — rural connectivity provider Wavemobile, and WiredScore, which uses Teragence indoor signal strength data in its in-building digital connectivity certification^[1][2]. The company has also partnered with Telco Data Company to distribute its insights in Italy^[3].

Compliance And Privacy

Because its inputs come from opt-in app publisher traffic, Teragence stresses permission-based collection and anonymization: it maintains no permanent user identifiers and says its data cannot be used to track any individual, making it suitable for commercial and public-sector use without exposing personal mobility^[2].
