    Signal Test Kit for Site Survey

    PDF

    Table of Contents

    LTE Signal Test Kit is a network scanner used to identify which bands and carriers on available on the site. Band availability depends on nearest cell tower, topography, etc.  This helps Customers:

    • measure the local signal strength (RSRP) and quality (RSRQ) to ensure signal meets system connection requirements
    • identify strongest and best carrier and band, which determines which SIM and antenna to use
    • identifies location of cell tower for angling directional antennas. 

    We recommend all Customers perform this signal test prior to purchasing a controller or antenna to amplify the signal. This is the only way to ensure the controller will be able to connect to our cloud for ET updates.
