Vermont Department of Public Service Announces Statewide Drive Test of Mobile Wireless Coverage

The Vermont Department of Public Service (PSD) released the results of a drive test, conducted in conjunction with the Agency of Transportation (AOT), to determine mobile wireless coverage throughout the state. “Identifying areas that lack service is a critical step toward the expansion and improvement of mobile wireless service around the state, and we are glad to have contributed to that effort,” said Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn. “Our Maintenance employees have driven over 6,500 miles this summer to gather data for our partners at PSD to use for this project.” To conduct the analysis, the State of Vermont partnered with Ookla, a global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights.
