Mosaik Solutions

Mosaik Solutions (formerly American Roamer)[1] was a company that specializes in wireless coverage data and wireless coverage maps, based in Memphis, Tennessee before being acquired by Ookla.[2]

The company collects and crowdsources carrier signal quality from major telecommunications providers or users who have its consumer or enterprise mobile application installed. The data is used to provide insights into places around the world without access to cellular coverage[3] and the development of new coverage patterns,[4] as well as to provide maps showing what provider offers the best service in an area.[5]

In 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), recognized Mosaik Solutions as the "industry standard" for the presence of wireless service at the census-block level.[6][page needed]
