Finnish telecom consultant company Omnitele was contracted by Fingrid, the electricity transmission system operator in Finland, to benchmark mobile network service quality in Fingrid's electricity network nodes and their surroundings.

Omnitele measures and analyses mobile voice and data services of all commercial operators' GSM and UMTS networks as well as the Finnish authorities' Virve network (the nationwide Tetra network for mission critical communications).

The campaign is conducted in 140 electricity network infrastructure locations spread over Finland, namely power plants, substations as well as Fingrid's office premises. Omnitele furthermore identifies the required indoor coverage improvement products where needed.
