Establish an Internet Lite Information Spot
Steps:
- measure the available networks from the operators
- identify the direction of closest tower
- measure field strength and technology
- create a map with buildings and distances
- purchase and configure the infrastructure
- installation on the site
Before you go out into the field, install a network analyser, e.g. Network Cell Info Lite (download from Google Play)
Note: this guide is made for Android 8.0. Functionality might look different
1. measure the available networks from the operators
Open your Android phone
- Goto Settings
- Select Network & Internet
- Select Mobile Network
- Select Network Operators
- Search Networks. It will take some minutes to show all networks.
What you see is XXXXXXX
2. identify the direction of closest tower
Note: your phone jumps to the best network. Thus, if you have a good 2G (GSM) network and a week 3G (UMTS) network, your phone will report from the 2G network. Thus, you need to fix your phone to the 3G (or 4G) network.
