Coverage Tile API
Integrate nationwide cellular signal strength data directly into your applications and mapping tools. You can retrieve Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT) for any U.S. carrier and supported technology, including 4G LTE and 5G.
What is the Coverage Tile API?
The Coverage Tile API enables you to embed our custom signal strength tiles directly into your mapping applications.
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.
