I recently wrapped up a round of field testing for small cells in an urban area and it was eye-opening. One major takeaway was the importance of documenting environmental factors in real-time; it made a huge difference in understanding signal variations. Anyone else have experiences that shifted their testing protocols?
It’s so true about real-time documentation! I’ve found that using apps like OpenSignal really helps track those environmental factors on-the-fly. Got any favorite tools you used?
I totally agree about tracking environmental factors. During my last round of testing, I found that using localized weather APIs helped pinpoint issues with signal propagation. Have you experimented with any specific apps for this, like @tcooper72 mentioned?
I’ve noticed documenting at various times of day really helps. Did you test during peak hours too?
