Cloud-Based GSM Cellular Signal Strength Analyzer
The GSM Signal Sensor is a Digitpol-developed module for detecting and monitoring GSM signals. It can be installed on walls, poles, or mobile units to continuously measure signal strength and upload data to the cloud for remote access.
The cloud-based system reports signal strength, available networks, cell towers, and timestamps of new tower activity. When multiple modules are deployed, they form a mesh network for enhanced coverage and reliability.
Digitpol's GSM Cellular Signal Strength Analyzer is a cutting-edge solution designed for continuous monitoring and analysis of GSM networks. Ideal for law enforcement, security agencies, and telecom operators, this device offers real-time insights into cellular activity, enabling rapid detection of anomalies and ensuring network integrity.
Designed and built by Digitpol in the Netherlands, the device helps detect interference, identify cellular issues, and enhance site security.
Use Cases:
Cellular Network Monitoring
-
Scenario: A company manages multiple remote sites where reliable GSM connectivity is critical.
-
Use: Install sensors to continuously monitor signal strength and network availability, allowing the IT team to detect weak coverage areas and plan upgrades or interventions.
Interference Detection
-
Scenario: A secure facility experiences unexpected communication dropouts.
-
Use: Deploy the sensor to detect unusual GSM interference or jamming attempts, alerting security personnel in real-time.
Mobile Operations
-
Scenario: Emergency response vehicles need reliable cellular connectivity in varying locations.
-
Use: Mount sensors in vehicles to track GSM signal quality on the move and report it to a central system, ensuring consistent communication during operations.
Security and Surveillance
-
Scenario: High-security sites need protection against unauthorized cellular activity.
-
Use: Monitor trusted devices and new cell tower activity in the vicinity, enabling early detection of potential threats or rogue base stations.
