Datasets

This page summarises the user-provided data required by the toolkit. The provided data must conform to the standards below.

Points of interest (POI)

Column name Column type Levels Example Mandatory Definition
lat float 36.7538 Yes Latitude coordinate in geographic Coordinate Reference System WGS84
lon float 3.0588 Yes Longitude coordinate in geographic Coordinate Reference System WGS84
connectivity_type string unknown, mobile, mobile_broadband, metro, fiber, wireless, satellite, wired fiber No Type of internet connectivity. If this column is missing, the connectivity status will be inferred using speed test measurements.
country_code string DZA No ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code
dataset_id UUID 987fcdeb-51a2-12d3-a456-426614174000 No Unique identifier for the dataset, automatically generated
has_electricity boolean True No Whether the POI has electricity. If missing, no electricity will be assumed.
is_connected boolean True No Whether the POI has connectivity. If this column is missing, the connectivity status will be inferred using speed test measurements.
number_of_users boolean True No Peak number of internet user at the POI. If missing, this will be estimated by the demand model using population data.
