[AusNOG] 3G wireless signal Strength testing.

[Oliver Eyre]

Simon,
 
If you have a 3G capable Cisco you can get various bits of information
including the signal strength. Knowing Cisco you can probably graph it via
SNMP. Google around for some sample outputs of the following command.

Hey All,

 

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

 

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.

 

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. 

 

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.
