Explore the technical details, data coverage, and real-world use cases so your team can plan a confident rollout.
What is the Coverage Tile API?
The Coverage Tile API delivers map-ready coverage and signal strength tiles based on the FCC Broadband Data Collection data set that integrates directly into your existing mapping application. Use it to visualize carrier footprints and quality at any zoom level without building and maintaining a tile pipeline.
You get access to coverage footprints and signal strength quality, measured in dBm, for AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Boost Mobile, and UScellular. Regional carriers are available upon request.
The data is available as Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT).
Granular to Country-Wide
Our tiles automatically handle zoom levels from 0 through 10. Get granular data, about 600 feet per data point, or view a nationwide coverage footprint. The data is available for both 4G LTE and 5G networks.
See an example of the tiles in action on our Signal Strength Map.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the free trial include?
The free trial is for 14 days and includes 1,000 tile loads. The output data can only be used for demo or trial purposes and cannot be used outside of that.
Will the tiles be cached?
The tiles will be cached by default for 1 hour in the browser.
How does billing work?
You are billed once for every tile loaded, regardless of provider or technology. For example, if you load the Verizon 4G LTE tile (1,2,1) and then the Verizon 5G tile (1,2,1), you will be billed twice.
Am I billed for cached tile loads?
No, you are not billed for tiles loaded from the cache.
Can I modify the cache time?
No, you are not allowed to modify the cache time in any way, and you are also prohibited from adding a proxy layer in front of the API with the purpose of caching any responses.
What format do I get the data in?
Once your locations are processed, you will get the data back in the form of a CSV file and an Excel file. If you are interested, you can also access the signal strength data through our Coverage API or Coverage Tiles.
How do we ensure data accuracy?
We have a custom data processing pipeline to apply corrections to the FCC data. This includes dealing with inaccuracies and discrepancies, and applying our correction algorithm to normalize the data between carriers.
Can I track my usage?
Yes. You can track your usage in real-time from your dashboard and see usage broken down day-by-day.
What countries are supported?
The Coverage Tile API is only available in the United States.
