Methodology and Scope
The IDT involved live voice and data sessions using SIM cards from all telecom service providers across 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Tests were conducted in commercial zones, public transport hubs, and hotspot areas using multiple advanced handsets. All sessions were monitored and analyzed in real time with sophisticated software systems to ensure accurate performance measurements.
