LONDON U.K. — Canada’s national mobile operators — Bell, Rogers and Telus — have all been named as “5G Global High Performers for 5G Reach” in Opensignal’s 5G Global Mobile Network Experience Awards 2022 report, released today.
The report from Opensignal, a U.K.-based mobile analytics company, compared users’ 5G mobile network experience by operator, to see how the operators stacked up globally. Data for the report was collected from Jan. 1 to June 29, 2022.
Opensignal’s 5G Reach metric “measures how users experience the geographical extent of an operator’s 5G network. It analyzes the average proportion of locations where users were connected to a 5G network out of all the locations those users have visited,” the report explains.
Being designated as 5G Global High Performers for 5G Reach means Rogers, Bell and Telus ranked among the top 30 global operators in this category. On a 10-point scale, Rogers was given a score of 5.3, followed by Bell and Telus, who both scored 4.8. (Please see the chart above.)
Bell and Telus were also named “5G Global Rising Stars for 5G Reach”, meaning they placed in the top 20 operators around the world on which Opensignal’s users have seen the greatest improvement in terms of 5G Reach in the last year. For this metric, Opensignal compared data between the first half of 2021 and the first half of 2022.
Bell’s score for 5G Reach increased 72.5% between H1 2021 and H1 2022, while Telus’ score improved 71.2%, according to Opensignal’s report. (Please see chart below.)
Rogers was designated a “5G Global Rising Star for 5G Upload Speed” in the report, achieving a 20.1% increase in average 5G upload speeds between H1 2021 and H1 2022, which puts it among the global top 20 for this category.
Rogers also ranked among the top 30 global operators for improvement in multiplayer mobile games experience on 5G compared to 4G. Rogers’ 5G score was 13.7% higher than its 4G score, according to the report.
