Snyper-4G/LTE Cellular Network/Signal Analyzer/Tester/Scanner/Detector

4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular communication technology which supersedes the global system for mobile communications standard (GSM) and high speed packet access (HSPA) standards. It offers massive improvements in data throughput and reduced latency over 2G and 3G networks as it is entirely IP based. As 4G is IP based it no longer supports circuit switched network nodes and therefore the base stations only need to support IP traffic which means that all 4G voice traffic is sent over the IP infrastructure.

As with 3G all of the benefits of the 2G and 3G system have been incorporated in to the 4G network to offer enhanced services with support for legacy applications such as SMS.

The 4G spectrum operates in a similar way to 2G and 3G with different regional areas being supported by different bands, however, the number of bands and regions compared to 2G and 3G is vastly different.

There are 44 defined bands for 4G and of these 13 bands are defined as Time Division Duplex (TDD) and 31 are defined as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD). The differences between these two standards is based around how they transmit and receive data using the shared spectrum.

TDD uses one frequency carrier to transmit and receive data over but the time for transmitting and receiving is different. With FDD two different frequencies are used to transmit and receive data but the data can be sent at the same time.

4G has a higher cost position compared to 2G and 3G but this cost is coming down as 4G / LTE technology is becoming more widely used across the world. The 4G network is split in to a number of classifications which define the mode of operation (TDD or FDD), the frequency band, the speed of operation and the number of MIMO layers. This can be seen in the table opposite.

As the IoT market does not necessarily require high data rates, the enhancements that are brought with the 4G network are normally not needed and as a result 2G has remained the favoured solution for IoT equipment developers. As with 3G a signifiant improvement offered by the 4G network over the 2G network is the network connection latency between two endpoints. This improvement means that the first byte will be received at the destination much more quickly and this means that the entire system latency will reduce. This opens the door for more real time, safety critical applications and allows for a much faster response times when sending and receiving information across the network.

Unlike 2G and 3G networks, the 4G network is being invested in heavily to provide more global coverage as well as further development of the new 3GPP version releases. In addition to this investment is being provided for category M and category NB IoT which offer lower speed connections designed for direct 2G network replacement.

 

This table below shows the defined 4G classifications.

    $2,239.87

    SNYPER-5G GRAPHYTE (GL)

    Cat-M, NB-IoT, 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE & 5G Signal Analyser & Datalogger

    General Description

    The SNYPER-5G Graphyte (GL) is a high performance, multi-language network signal analyser and cellular signal logger, dedicated to surveying and logging the 5G/NR 4G/LTE , LTE-Cat M, NB-IoT & 2G/GSM networks.

    It incorporates a number of important features::

    • Enhanced cellular surveying & sequential logging of new and existing installations on 5G. 4G, Cat M, NB-IoT and 2G networks
    • 5G NSA Cells Identified (Based on USER SUPPLIED SIM)
    • User selectable survey logging options to determine most suitable & reliable mobile operator
    • Evaluate “preferred” MNO’s performance over time
    • Determines “hotspots” & assist with antenna alignment, through Siretta’s liveSCAN feature
    • Results are reported in CSV, graphical HTML format & Print to PDF
    • Save over 100 logged surveys with multiple liveSCAN logs

    The unit can be left to conduct sequential surveys in a fixed location and automatically saving them. Four types of survey can be performed: a “FULL” survey (5G, 4G or CAT-M, NB-IoT, GSM combined), or a single selected technology only.

    The SNYPER-5G Graphyte is capable of detecting 5G SA Cells without requiring a 5G SIM Card. However, if you require analysing 5G NSA Cells, a valid 5G SIM card is required. The SNYPER device will then display the 5G NSA cells of the network that the SIM card operates on. This is due to the specific way 5G NSA operates.

    The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration has an informative short video explaining how the 5G NR architecture is split into SA and NSA here:

    For more information on 5G Technology please click here:

    SNYPER-5G Graphyte (GL) can save a limitless amount of surveys each with different logging options and all survey results can be downloaded to a PC and displayed in a HTML graphical format to clearly show the logged detail over the survey session. This can identify unreliable base-stations & intermittent cellular service which is not possible with spot surveys. The full breakdown for the HTML summary graphs are displayed in corresponding CSV files (Summary and full detail files).

    The SNYPER-5G Graphyte (GL) also incorporates Siretta’s leading liveSCAN feature, which allows you to select a base-station signal immediately after a survey, conduct a liveSCAN logging session which can later be analysed in a CSV logged recording.

    The SNYPER-5G Graphyte (GL) is an invaluable tool for understanding local network performance over hours, days and weeks to assist in the selection of reliable mobile network operators before cellular installations.

    $688.94

    SNYPER-LTEM (GL)

    4G/LTE Cat M, LTE Cat NB IoT, & 2G/GSM Signal Analyser & Datalogger

    Available 05/2021

    General Description

    The SNYPER-LTEM (GL) is a high performance, multi-language network signal analyser dedicated to surveying the LTE Cat M, LTE Cat NB IoT & 2G / GSM Global networks.

    It incorporates a number of important features and can perform three types of survey:

    • LTE Cat M (LTE Cat M network with signal strength in the area)
    • LTE Cat NB IoT (LTE Cat NB IoT network without signal strength in the area *)
    • 2G / GSM (2G / GSM networks with signal strength in the area)

    The LTE Cat M and LTE Cat NB IoT surveys will record the base-station with the strongest signal for each operator in the local area. The 2G / GSM survey will provide multiple results from each network operator, in one single survey.

    The powerful SNYPER summary page displays percentage thresholds to determine the most suitable mobile network operator available and the performance of a “preferred” MNO can be evaluated against the other networks.

    The SNYPER can also be used to help establish optimum antenna placement and perform local site surveys.

    * NOTE:
    The SNYPER results for the LTE Cat NB IoT network do not include the received signal strength. This is a limitation based on the internal chipset and network infrastructure interaction providing a suitable metric to measure received signal strength.

    • Enhanced cellular surveying of new and existing installations on LTE Cat M, LTE Cat NB IoT and 2G / GSM networks
    • Establish most suitable operator for application
    • Evaluate your “preferred” MNO’s performance
