Overview

  • The nationwide measurement week runs from May 26 to June 1, 2025, with users mapping mobile network availability via the Bundesnetzagentur app.
  • The app records coverage data every 50 meters, specifying whether the connection is 2G, 4G, or 5G, and transmits anonymized results for analysis.
  • Current statistics show 97.53% 4G and 93.85% 5G area coverage in Germany, but rural and transport corridor gaps persist.
  • The Bundesrat has set ambitious targets, including 99.5% area coverage and extending the Mobilinfrastrukturgesellschaft's mandate beyond 2025.
  • Collected data will be analyzed to address coverage gaps and inform dynamic infrastructure upgrades, aligning with Germany's 2030 digital strategy.
