How to read our numbers

Propagation calculations use simplified geometry and explicit assumptions. Comparison-table ranges are illustrative design envelopes, not sampled performance data or carrier guarantees. Cost drivers are qualitative because currency, civil works, equipment and negotiated service levels make generic price rankings unreliable.

Regulatory scope

Each regional note identifies a verification step. It does not replace the applicable ACMA or BNetzA document, site-specific approval or professional assessment. Operator contracts, national conditions and programme milestones can change after this edition's review date of 03 October 2026.
