Network Technologies Overview

Network Survey supports surveying four wireless technologies simultaneously:

  • Cellular - GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, and 5G NR networks
  • Wi-Fi - 802.11 wireless networks (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)
  • Bluetooth - Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices
  • GNSS - GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou satellite constellations

Simultaneous Surveying

Section titled “Simultaneous Surveying”

You can survey all four technologies at once. Each technology:

  • Logs to separate files (GeoPackage tables or CSV files)
  • Streams independently via MQTT/gRPC
  • Can be enabled/disabled individually
  • Has independent scan rate settings
