umlaut tested and measured the performance of its voice
and data services on smartphones in comparison to other
5G/LTE mobile radio networks in metropolitan and rural
areas of Ireland.
The audit was done as a performance benchmark performed
by umlaut between 25.03.2024 and 16.04.2024 in cities and
towns as well as on connection roads.
Dedicated measurements have been executed as drive
tests outdoors using a Samsung Galaxy S23+.
All data measurements have been performed in 5G
preferred mode. Voice measurements have been done
in 5G/5G preferred mode on both sides, while call
origin has been alternated.
In addition crowdsourced performance data has been
collected and evaluated between CW43 2023 and
CW14 2024.

Vodafone Ireland
The leader in mobile benchmarking, umlaut, has analyzed
the mobile networks of Ireland with regards to mobile
network performance. We measure smartphone voice
and data performance based on extensive drivetests –
from major metropolitan areas to smaller cities and
connection roads.
We objectively dene the routes and test methodology
and publish the results through certicates or public
benchmark reports. In addition crowdsourced performance
data has been collected and evaluated.
As the de-facto industry standard, our benchmarking
methodology focuses on customer-experienced network
quality and covers a wide range of mobile services.
Today, more than 200 mobile networks in more than
120 countries are being evaluated by our unique
scoring methodology.
It allows a technical analysis that is unprecedented in
its level of detail and enables comparisons between the
network performance and capability of each mobile
network. Our public benchmarks as well as the certicate
benchmarks help network operators to demonstrate how
well they are delivering wireless connections to consumers,
business users and enterprises and reveals the areas
of improvement.
