How many communes are covered in Madagascar?

The page shows, by technology (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G), the number of communes covered by at least one operator, out of the total recorded. The figures come from ARTEC's cartoréseau, the telecom regulator.

Why are the operators anonymous?

ARTEC publishes coverage by operator slot ("Operator 1/2/3") without naming them. We reproduce the regulator's publication exactly, with no interpretation.

Is this data available via API?

Yes. Coverage by technology is a JSON endpoint on api.stileex.xyz, e.g. /v1/series/mg/network-coverage-4g/latest, for your applications and AI agents.

Method

The figures come from ARTEC's cartoréseau (the telecom regulator), which records, commune by commune, each operator's declared coverage by technology. We sum the communes nationally, for each technology and each operator, at the validity date ARTEC publishes. Operators stay anonymous, as at the source.
