RootMetrics' RootScore™ Reports highlight data, call,
text and overall performances of the major wireless carriers'
networks in a specific geographical area. To evaluate the
networks in each specific market, a team of RootMetrics employees
conducts tests during a seven-day period, covering all hours of the
day and night. Using current off-the-shelf smartphones
available to the public at the time of testing, the evaluation
focuses on popular consumer activities, including making phone
calls, uploading and downloading files from the Internet, and
sending and receiving texts in an effort to reflect the consumer
experience in a specific geographical area.
