Communications Authority of Kenya introduced a new framework for measuring Quality of Service (QoS) and was operationalized on 1 July 2018 and is expected to be fully adopted over three years. The new QoS framework, which has not yet taken effect, will increase the scope of parameters to be measured, as well as scrutiny of our call quality and customer satisfaction levels.
The new framework has three key focus areas: network performance (measuring stability and availability using data automatically submitted from operator systems); end-to-end quality of service (measured through drive tests and walk tests, where the threshold is 80%) and Quality of Experience (QoE) (using surveys to
establish customer satisfaction with the performance of the network).
