lon float 3.0588 Yes Longitude coordinate
country_code string DZA No ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code
is_connected boolean True No Whether the POI has connectivity. If this column is missing, the connectivits status will be inferred using Ookla Speedtest measurements.
connectivity_type string unknown, mobile, mobile_broadband, metro, fiber, wireless, satellite, wired fiber No Type of internet connectivity. If this column is missing, the connectivits status will be inferred using Ookla Speedtest measurements.
has_electricity boolean True No Whether the POI has electricity. If missing, no electricity will be assumed.
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.
poi_type string school No Type of point of interest
