Crowdsourcing for better coverage

SigMapTM provides accurate, real-world, crowd sourced data on mobile telephone carrier coverage and blackspots. This data can be licensed and utilised with SigMapTM’s intuitive Geographical Information System (GIS), Atlas. Or download it straight into your existing GIS. Our flexible reporting delivers a single source of benchmarking with up-to-date historical trends.
The SigMapTM app for Android, iOS or Windows runs constantly in the background at a very low power draw. No identifying information is collected, ensuring all users remain strictly anonymous. The app notes change in carrier signal conditions and sends this data to SigMapTM’s secure server where it is collated and displayed on SigMapTM’s coverage map.
All data received from the SigMapTM app is quality tested and validated prior to being pooled with other data. While app users are provided with the SigMapTM coverage map for free, this shows only a 100 x 100 metre accuracy. The greater the number of users, the more accurate the data collected; and coverage can be shown up to a 10 x 10 metre accuracy.
Worried about being in contact when you go away? Tired of poor reception where you live?
Downloading the free SigMapTM app will let you contribute to making lost signals a thing of the past.
Make an informed decision about which carrier is best for your location, or demand more from your existing carrier. SigMap gives power back to communities and puts pressure back on carriers.
SigMapTM has the power to stop revenue leaks for your business. Get the granular data you need to make informed, strategic decisions.
Use the competitive intelligence SigMapTM provides to decide where to build new infrastructure, where to expand your business, where to send your mobile workforce. Choose the most appropriate carrier and negotiate for better infrastructure with defensible data.
The ever-growing share economy relies on staying connected, and any business hoping to compete does as well.
Forget drive around surveys and simulations or relying on theoretical coverage maps, SigMapTM provides real-world data about mobile telephone carriers, their strengths, their presence and their blackspots.
Currently, carriers do not provide the granularity needed for informed decision making. Be secure in your decisions, whether planning for new infrastructure or sending employees to areas they will be safe, have the latest information and stay connected.
Atlas is SigMap’s powerful and intuitive GIS (Geographical Information System) offering a simple solution to visualising and analysing the signal data. Integrate and compare with environmental and socio-economic data; create context and inform decision making.
Atlas’ simple to navigate user interface requires very little training and support. The cloud based system is compatible with multiple browsers and platforms and allows the user to overlay and compare multiple data sets in an instant.
Empowering Communities
SigMapTM gives power back to communities and puts pressure back on carriers. With the SigMapTM app, have confidence in your coverage, see signal strength in any location and filter the coverage map by carrier. Make an informed decision about which carrier is best for your location, or demand more from your existing carrier. Feel safe knowing you will receive emergency SMS messages. Contribute to your community in providing government with accurate data to address coverage issues and plan future infrastructure.
Maintaining Privacy
We understand that anonymity is of the utmost importance and therefore SigMapTM collects no identifying data, leaving individual users strictly anonymous. The collected location and signal data is stored locally on your mobile device and uploaded to the secure SigMapTM server later; meaning there is also no real-time data collected about your device or your location. While the app store you use will want to know who you are, SigMap receives none of this personal information. All data is collected anonymously, all the time.
The benefits of SigMapTM for Business
SigMapTM has the power to stop revenue leaks for your business. Get the granular data you need to make informed, strategic decisions.
Use the competitive intelligence SigMapTM provides to decide where to build new infrastructure, where to expand your business, where to send your mobile workforce. Choose the most appropriate carrier and negotiate for better infrastructure with defensible data.
Be secure in the knowledge that your employees will be safe and able to contact emergency services and know that your remote workforce will be able to connect and work effectively with your team.
The ever-growing share economy relies on staying connected, and any business hoping to compete does as well.
Is SigMapTM a standalone solution?
While SigMapTM data can be downloaded straight into your existing GIS, SigMap also provides a standalone product. The Atlas GIS is a powerful addition to the licensing of SigMap data.
Atlas is a cloud based platform, featuring a simple to navigate user interface accessed through a web browser, requiring little training and support. Atlas accepts the upload of multiple data sets, allowing users to rapidly make direct comparisons with SigMap’s signal data.
Blackspot bidding

Meeting expectations
Staying connected is now considered a right, not a privilege.
The benefits of SigMapTM
Forget drive around surveys and simulations or relying on theoretical coverage maps, SigMapTM provides real-world data about mobile telephone carriers, their strengths, their presence and their blackspots. Currently, carriers do not provide the granularity needed for informed decision making. Be secure in your decisions, whether planning for new infrastructure or sending employees to areas they will be safe, have the latest information and stay connected.
To bid in the Blackspot Program, Local and State governments need to identify and collect data to support the presence of blackspots and then assemble evidence to suggest the spot needs to be improved. Evidence to improve coverage in such areas may include analysis of population, commerce and emergency requirements. SigMap gives you the power to visualise signal data; concrete proof of blackspots able to be overlayed with other data sets.
SigMapTM helps identify communities that are at a disadvantage. Areas where economic development cannot be effective due to poor signal infrastructure. These communities are unable to take advantage of emerging technologies, stunting growth and allowing the gap to widen. Perhaps this is a remote area that cannot utilise tele-health services, an agricultural business unable to connect, tourism unable to stay competitive. Economic development requires connectivity.
GIS: Visualising the data
Already have a GIS in place? SigMap’s crowd sourced data can be fed directly into your existing GIS, do so manually or set up an automatic upload. SigMapTM also provides a standalone product; the Atlas GIS is a powerful addition to the licensing of SigMapTM data.
Atlas is a cloud based platform, featuring a simple to navigate user interface accessed through a web browser, requiring little training and support. Atlas accepts the upload of multiple data sets, allowing users to rapidly make direct comparisons with SigMapTM’s signal data.
