(CSSR), Packet loss rate, data Download (DL) and Upload (UL) throughput etc., which are then published to inform Consumers and encourage TSPs to improve their services.

2. These IDTs have been designed to capture on ground mobile network performance of all TSPs across diverse usages environment like cities, hotspots, public transport hubs, etc. In this type of drive testing, live data and voice sessions are established using SIM cards from all TSPs over 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Multiple advanced test handsets are used, and the sessions are monitored and analysed in real-time using advanced Software Systems.

3. TRAI, through its appointed agency, conducted drive tests including City drive –

184.6 KMs, Walk test-1.9 KMs & Hotspot locations - 06 across Fazilka city and adjoining areas during 5th August to 7th August 2026 in Punjab LSA. These tests were conducted under the supervision of the TRAI Regional Office Jaipur. The observations presented in the drive test reports represent the performance of the TSPs on the area/ route under test on the day/ time of conducting the drive test.
