umlaut communications GmbH tested and measured the
performance of its voice and data services on smart-
phones in comparison to other LTE/UMTS/GSM mobile
radio networks in metropolitan and rural areas of Ireland.
The audit was done as a performance benchmark
performed by umlaut communications between 16.11.2018
and 28.11.2018 in cities and towns as well as on connection
roads.
Dedicated measurements have been executed as drive
tests outdoors using a Samsung Galaxy S8 cat16 Smart-
phone 1000 Mbit/s Download / 105 Mbit/s Upload.
All data measurements have been performed in 4G pre-
ferred mode. Voice measurements have been done in
4G/4G preferred mode on both sides, while call origin
has been alternated.
In addition crowdsourced performance data has been
collected and evaluated between April 2018 and
October 2018.

Claims Methodology
The leader in mobile benchmarking, umlaut, has analy-
zed the mobile networks of Ireland with regards to mobile
network performance. We measure smartphone voice
and data performance based on extensive drive-tests
– from major metropolitan areas to smaller cities, roads
and railways, complemented by walk-tests in big cities
with special focus on busy areas, on public transport and
in frequently visited buildings, like shopping malls, main
station, etc.
We objectively define the routes and test methodolo-
gy and publish the results through certificates or public
benchmark reports.
As the de-facto industry standard, our benchmarking me-
thodology focuses on customer-perceived 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 unpre-
cedented 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
certificate benchmarks help network operators to demon-
strate how well they are delivering wireless connections to
consumers, business users and enterprises and reveals the
areas of improvement.
