RADIO INNOVATION - Mobile Internet Calculator

Below, we have made calculations on connecting the unconnected 2/3 of the world with an average data usage of 10 GB data per month. Feel free to make your own calculations. Just fill in area, customers and the average data usage per customer. Calculations are shown in the chart below:

Enter the area to cover (km²) Customers to serve Average data usage (GB per customer per month)

Here are some examples you can try
Africa: area 30,221,532 km², population 1,100,000,000
Sweden: area 447,435 km², population 9,793,172
Gotland: area 3,184 km², population 57,255
USA: area 9,826,675 km², population 321,493,080
California: area 423,970 km², population 38,802,500
Monterey: area 21,927 km², population 28,294
England: area 130,279 km², population 53,012,456
Victoria, Australia: area 227,416 km², population 5,603,100

The calculations are based on results from out test site in Östhammar, Sweden measured in Q1 2017.
With power and transmission included, total cost per customer will be reduced further. Calculations will differ depending on frequency bands, number of operators per site, local variations, terrain, etc.

¹ In our calculation, we use $2,000 per RRH.
