STREET SMARTS
As part of its ‘streets’ connectivity mapping project, Stellar collected data on the Tour de France 2023, assessing the internet quality across the route. Rather than relying on reports from various providers, Stellar assesses quality on the roads themselves, using a fleet of vehicles to map 4G and 5G networks and Wi-Fi hotspots. Stellar’s metrics revealed an average quality of service that was deemed ‘poor’ or ‘lacking’ across 62.3% of the Tour de France 2023 route.
SWISS SUMMER
French broadcaster TF1 is set to cover the Uefa Women’s Euro 2025, hosted by Switzerland in the summer of that year.
