LinkIDAHO is happy to announce the launch of the Idaho Mobile Broadband Test Project. For this project we are partnering with Mobile Pulse, a mobile connectivity analytics company, to ensure the most accurate measurement and mapping of state mobile broadband networks across the state. The results of the data collected from this project will give state planners the information needed to help execute cost-effective and productive mobile broadband strategies for our state.
This project offers two levels of opportunity for participation.
1. LinkIDAHO Test App – available for download from the Apple Store or Google Play store. Once loaded to a device this app will run periodic performance tests in the background and send the results to a secure site for analysis. This information, which is collected in a manner that ensures that the privacy of the user and device, will be used to help validate the speed and connection capabilities of mobile broadband vendors while also giving state planners insight into a wide range of operational issues. Users get the added bonus of being able to check their speed and connectivity on the fly.
2. ID Advance Test App - available in a limited quantity for download by invitation from the LinkIDAHO test coordinator. This app will be used for more targeted testing and offers the user an opportunity to become more actively involved in the project. To find out more about this option contact Paul Reyes at paul.reyes@cio.idaho.gov
