Evidence-led mobile network data,
built for your borough.
Independent, like-for-like coverage and performance data across every UK mobile network, surveyed street by street — the evidence base councils need for productive conversations with operators, regulators and residents.
Three council problems, one evidence base.
Council mobile-coverage problems don’t come from a lack of opinions — they come from a lack of independent, defensible data. NetworkUX is built to provide it.
Productive operator discussions
Without independent data, conversations with mobile operators about service quality stall. NetworkUX gives you the granular, like-for-like evidence operators take seriously — and that holds up in regulatory submissions.
Smart infrastructure planning
EV chargers, CCTV, IoT sensors, digital signage, smart bins, e-mobility bays — all depend on mobile coverage to function. NetworkUX validates whether every candidate site has the connectivity to support the asset, before commissioning.
Digital inclusion & resident service
Mobile-only households, vulnerable residents on home monitoring kit, town-centre visitors paying for parking by app — all rely on the network working. NetworkUX shows you, street by street, where it doesn’t.
A defensible, working evidence base — not a survey report.
Survey data is only useful if you can interrogate it. NetworkUX delivers an interactive platform plus exportable data your GIS and digital teams can actually use.
-
Interactive platform
RAG-coloured hex maps for coverage and performance, time-of-day filters, operator-by-operator side-by-side comparison. Anyone in the council can use it.
-
Address & asset search
Look up any postcode or street to see what each operator delivers there, at different times of day. Invaluable before deploying a home-monitoring kit or smart asset.
-
Exportable data
KML, shapefile, JSON, CSV — drop straight into your GIS, BI tool or asset management system. Raw datapoints, not just summaries.
-
Instant reporting
Export maps and findings to PDF for council reports, scrutiny committees and operator meetings. The story tells itself.
What council customers say after the data lands on the table.
Four direct quotes from three live UK council programmes — Westminster City Council, Manchester City Council and the Tees Valley Combined Authority (plus one of its constituent councils).
“The conversation with mobile-network operators has moved on a lot more. We know where the problem areas are. We can be constructive and collaborative about how we might be able to help them — our aim is to improve the user and visitor experience of people coming to Westminster.”
Head of Smart City, Westminster City Council
“Overall, the experience of working with the team at NetworkUX and the product delivered was exceptional in quality and delivery. I would recommend NetworkUX to any party interested in gathering data on mobile capacity.”
Senior Digital Strategy Officer, Manchester City Council
“Ever wondered why your apps won’t load despite full bars on your phone? That’s exactly what our new Mobile Performance Map is here to solve. It’s already highlighting where coverage is strong — and where it needs to improve — so we can work with providers to fill the gaps and make sure people get the service they pay for.”
Tees Valley Mayor
“We’re using our bin wagons to sort more than just our rubbish — we’re sorting rubbish signal out, too. No more guesswork — this will give us hard evidence of problems people who have poor signal know only too well, and arm us to go to providers and government to get it sorted.”
Leader, Darlington Borough Council
Where councils already use this.
Every public asset that needs a SIM, and every resident-facing service that needs a network, is a candidate for NetworkUX validation. A few of the most common.
EV charging
Verify mobile coverage before committing on-street charge-point locations — particularly for LEVI-funded deployments.
Home monitoring kit
Confirm signal at a vulnerable resident’s address for the intended operator before installation.
Smart bins & IoT
Validate connectivity for SIM-enabled assets before deployment, avoiding silent failures in the field.
CCTV surveillance
Pick camera locations where the mobile network can actually carry the data they generate.
Parking apps
Ensure motorists can pay for parking by app in every controlled zone.
Digital signage
SIM-fed signage needs reliable data. Survey before specifying.
Shared mobility
e-bike and e-scooter bays only work where the app works. NetworkUX confirms it.
Tourism & events
City-centre and event-day capacity testing for the busiest times your visitors arrive.
Show residents the data, too.
Some councils already turn their NetworkUX data into resident-facing coverage checkers — a tangible, shareable demonstration of what mobile service is really like across the area. Ours is the most granular checker in the UK — 10-metre hexagons (vs 50–100 m for Ofcom and the operators), all four networks side-by-side, real measurements only.
