Establish an Internet Lite Information Spot

Steps:

  1. measure the available networks from the operators
  2. identify the direction of closest tower
  3. measure field strength and technology
  4. create a map with buildings and distances
  5. purchase and configure the infrastructure
  6. 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)

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.
