Network Survey

Network Survey is a robust tool designed to collect and log data from various signal sources including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GNSS. Users looking to gather detailed information about their device's connectivity will find it particularly useful, as it supports a range of cellular networks such as GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, and NR.

One of the key features of this robust tool is its logging capability, which meticulously records data about the primary cell your device is connected to as well as basic information about neighboring cells. It should be noted that while the tool covers multiple cellular protocols, it only records data for those your device is actively using. To record data for a specific protocol exclusively, one can achieve this by locking the phone to the desired network.

For those who require real-time data streaming, an option is provided to stream survey records to a gRPC server or an MQTT broker, although this feature requires manual setup and isn't enabled by default.

Furthermore, additional utilities such as a Call Detail Record (CDR) logging function can be an invaluable asset for creating detailed call logs. There are also calculators for converting LTE Cell IDs to eNodeB IDs and Sector IDs, as well as for converting LTE PCIs to Primary and Secondary Sync Sequences.

Keep in mind that enabling some features, like background location access, is critical for functionalities such as automatic start at boot time. For privacy-conscious individuals, details about data handling and permissions can be found in the privacy policy.

Network Survey is a comprehensive solution for anyone needing to analyze or keep records of network connectivity and is especially suited for technical diagnostics and networking professionals. Its ability to generate extensive logs and support various formats such as GeoPackage or CSV extends its utility for a wide range of analytical tasks.
