Metricell’s Underground and Rail Testing service offers a comprehensive service solution to assess mobile network performance across rail and underground transport systems. The Sentinel-approved team test during engineering hours, minimising the disruption to your team and to public transport services.
Our Underground and Rail Testing service is designed to deliver accurate, real-world insights into network performance. Testing can be conducted using our own advanced measurement solution, Automobile, or integrated with specialist third-party equipment. Our Sentinel-trained testing team are fully qualified to work within live rail environments and perform testing during engineering hours, ensuring minimal disruption to your team and to public transport services.
We support a wide range of use cases including tuning propagation models, validating coverage predictions, benchmarking against competitors, troubleshooting performance issues, and understanding the actual experience of passengers and operational users as they travel on the network.
The test data is returned as a detailed report alongside recommendations on how to improve network connectivity, enabling network teams to make informed decisions to improve coverage, reliability and customer satisfaction.
