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>
