Coverage audit for telecom regulators
Verify operator coverage commitments with independent, traceable and reproducible field measurements. Multi-operator benchmarking, fleet deployment and encrypted data for an integrated chain of evidence.
Summary
HiCellTek for regulators enables regulatory authorities (ARCEP, ANFR, ANRT, TRA and equivalents) to conduct independent coverage audits and multi-operator benchmarking campaigns at scale. Every measurement is timestamped, geo-referenced and recorded in an encrypted format (HLOG chiffrement authentifié) guaranteeing data integrity. Excel, CSV, QMDL exports are compatible with standard analysis tools. The Enterprise + Fleet plan enables nationwide deployment.
Regulator use cases
Independent Coverage Audits
Verify operator coverage declarations with independent and reproducible field measurements.
Multi-Operator Comparison
Simultaneous benchmarking of multiple operators on identical routes. Comparable and objective data.
Full Traceability
Every measurement is timestamped, geo-referenced and recorded in a verifiable format. Integrated chain of evidence.
Standard Export Formats
Export to Excel, CSV, QMDL and HLOG. HLOG files encrypted (chiffrement authentifié) to guarantee data integrity.
Benchmark Campaigns
Fleet deployment to cover large areas. National or regional scale coverage cartography.
Controlled Cost
Equip audit teams at lower cost. No dependency on a dedicated equipment vendor.
Your questions, our answers
Common concerns from regulatory authorities, and how HiCellTek addresses them.
Auditable data?
Every measurement is timestamped, geolocated and digitally signed. Raw export available for independent verification.
Multi-operator coverage?
Simultaneous benchmarking with Dual-SIM collection. Compare multiple operator performances on the same route.
GDPR compliance?
EU hosting, end-to-end encryption, no personal data collection. Privacy by design.
Nationwide deployment?
Every compatible Android smartphone becomes a measurement point. Urban, rural and indoor coverage without hardware investment.
Measurable KPIs
All indicators needed for a complete quality of service audit.
RSRP / SS-RSRP
4G/5G reference signal level. Primary coverage indicator.
RSRQ / SS-RSRQ
Signal quality. Detects interference and load issues.
SINR / SS-SINR
Signal to interference plus noise ratio. Correlates to achievable throughput.
DL/UL Throughput
Downlink and uplink data rate. Direct data performance indicator.
Latency
Network response time. Critical for real-time services.
VoLTE MOS
Voice quality over 4G. Perceptual quality score.
Data integrity and traceability
HLOG Encryption
HLOG v1 files are encrypted with the chiffrement authentifié algorithm. Any post-collection modification is detectable, guaranteeing the integrity of the chain of evidence for regulatory procedures.
Precise Geo-referencing
Each measurement point is associated with GPS coordinates, a timestamp and a cell identifier. Data is exportable in WGS84 coordinates for integration into geographic information systems (GIS).
From deployment to report in 5 steps
A simple and fast field workflow for your audit campaigns.
Security & compliance
chiffrement authentifié
End-to-end encryption of HLOG files. Integrity guaranteed.
EU Hosting
Cloud hosted in Europe. Data sovereignty respected.
GDPR Compliant
No personal data collection. Privacy by design.
Data Sovereignty

Frequently Asked Questions
Can HiCellTek be used for regulatory coverage audits?
Yes. HiCellTek collects all required radio KPIs (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, throughput, latency, VoLTE MOS) with timestamps and geo-referencing. Encrypted HLOG files guarantee data integrity. Excel, CSV and QMDL exports are compatible with standard analysis tools.
How do you guarantee measurement independence?
HiCellTek is an independent solution that does not depend on any operator. Measurements are collected directly by the smartphone via Qualcomm diagnostic layers. HLOG files using chiffrement authentifié encryption ensure data has not been modified after collection.
Can multiple operators be compared simultaneously?
Measurements are collected operator by operator (one smartphone per operator SIM). For multi-operator benchmarking, multiple smartphones with different SIMs are used on the same route, with GPS synchronization to ensure data comparability.
Which regulators use this type of tool?
Telecommunications regulatory authorities worldwide (ARCEP in France, ANFR, ANRT in Morocco, TRA in the UAE and equivalents) conduct coverage and quality of service verification campaigns. HiCellTek enables these campaigns to be conducted economically and at scale.
Which plan is recommended for a regulator?
The Enterprise plan with Fleet option is recommended for regulators. It enables centralized management of multiple licenses, large-scale deployment for national campaigns and access to all advanced export and reporting features.
