Our methodology

At Opensignal, we continuously analyze mobile networks worldwide, enabling us to construct a comprehensive benchmark of mobile experience across global markets. 

The Global Network Excellence Index evaluates mobile infrastructure readiness at a country level, using three core pillars of network experience: 4G/5G Availability, Excellent Consistent Quality and Download Speed. 

The speed component is further broken down into the average speeds measured while on 4G and 5G networks. 5G download speeds are included in the markets where 5G has been widely commercially deployed. 

The overall Global Network Excellence Index assigns equal weights to each pillar, ranking markets based on their average performance across all three components. 

To provide deeper insights, the Index enables segmentation by geography (land area and region) and income level, following the World Bank’s classifications.
