<DIV>Hey all, </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>That for all the fast responses. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I would not mind seeing any testing data as this is always of
interest.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I do know you can gain a lot of stats from say an 1800 with a 3g wic but
was more interest in seeing if there was some software out there that can do
this job.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We have a load of 3g USB devices and just looking at logging say ipsla type
info and signal strength. </DIV>

Re: [AusNOG] 3G wireless signal Strength testing.<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hey Simon,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have tried using 3G services in the past and found the latency to be
quite a lot more then xDSL or even fixed wireless services. In testing
the Big T shone out in terms of throughput and latency, I also know that they
are upgrading their load balancers and proxies for 3G data at the
moment.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In terms of testing, I was using a Cisco router with built in 3G via WIC
card and it was very good, you can monitor the stats from it via SNMP.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hey All,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Was wondering if anyone has had a bit of experience with
testing of signal strength of different carriers’ wireless 3G
devices/services. Weather this be a piece of software or hardware that can
provide a little more information that the standard fair from a USB
dongle</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Ideally I am interested in a piece of software that
resides on a remote machine that can report back to a head end that can keep
historical information and can be reported on.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Also was wondering if anyone could give an idea of there
experience with latency over different networks in regards to 3G. A good
comparison would be the difference that can be experience from a wired
connected to a 3G in the same area to the same destination. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I know these are all pretty specific questions but I am
certain a few people in ausnog land have run into this in some way, shape or
form.</P>
