Connectivity Reliability Score API

Can you rely on the network
here — right now?

A 0–100 connectivity reliability score for any coordinate — mobile network quality and satellite direct-to-cell fused into one go/no-go signal, with an A–F grade, the next satellite window, an explainable factor breakdown, and an honest confidence value. Satellite passes are computed live (SGP4); mobile quality is a quarterly Ookla aggregate — and every response labels which is which.

How the score is built

Reliability is the best available network plus a bounded redundancy bonus from the second — never a penalty for having one:

overall = best + (100 − best) × (second / 100) × 0.4
  best   = higher of the mobile / satellite subscores
  second = the other subscore (0 if only one network has data)
  grades: A ≥ 85 · B ≥ 70 · C ≥ 50 · D ≥ 30 · F < 30 · N/A = no data

What’s real vs. modeled

terrain / weather / congestion are declared planned placeholders (score: null) that don’t move the v1 number. A null score with gradeN/A is a real answer (200), not an error — we never invent coverage.
