[AusNOG] 3G wireless signal Strength testing.

[Darren Moss]

Hi All,
 
I have to agree, Telstra 3G latency was by far the best in our testing.
 
We've tested in most capital cities, and have been running VoIP over
Telstra's 3G service pretty much everywhere including Darwin, which
works very well.
 
The others we tested were Optus and Vodafone. Happy to send you the
information relating to those.
 
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Hey Simon, 

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.

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.

Cheers

	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.
