TRAI Assesses Network Quality of Mobile Service Operators across Saharanpur & Muzaffarnagar City and nearby area of UP(West) LSA
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has conducted Independent Drive Tests (IDT) covering Saharanpur & Muzaffarnagar Cities and nearby areas of UP (West) LSA during the month of January 2026. The IDT have been designed to capture real-world mobile network performance across diverse usage environments—urban zones, hotspots, public transport hubs, etc.
TRAI, through its appointed agency, conducted detailed drive tests of 338.4 km of city tests and 3.8 km of walk tests in Saharanpur & Muzaffarnagar Cities from 20th to 23rd January 2026. Technologies evaluated included 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G, reflecting the service experience of users across multiple handset capabilities. The findings of IDT have been intimated to all the TSPs concerned for further necessary action.
