[AusNOG] 3G wireless signal Strength testing.

[Simon]

Hey all,

That for all the fast responses.

I would not mind seeing any testing data as this is always of interest.

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.

We have a load of 3g USB devices and just looking at logging say ipsla  
type info and signal strength.
