Coverage model
Current coverage
Service-specific postal coverage is evaluated using the current provider-supplied operational rule set.
- Active services
- 15
- Postcode prefix & range matching
- Outward-code prefixes and numeric ranges, matched per service rather than nationwide.
- Remote-area screening
- Remote conditions are matched per service, so a remote postcode never reads as plain serviceable.
- Unavailable-area screening
- An area a service does not reach blocks that service only — it never restricts the whole country.
