The SNYPER family of signal analysers are sophisticated yet easy to use with a large and bright, full colour display. The range is offered in both 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G and 2G / LTE Cat M / LTE Cat NBIoT cellular technologies to cover all network cell towers in use today. The SNYPER is a hand held, battery operated unit and can operate for several hours between charges (depending on use). It analyses all cellular signals from any network at any particular site being surveyed and displays the results in a simple and easy to understand format.
The SNYPER also provides a summary of all the networks found in the area, their relative signal strengths and number of cells available. This information allows you to very quickly make a decision about the best network to use for your application in the area and to determine what options you have with regards to secondary backup networks. As a result this is an invaluable tool for performing site surveys and determine the best mobile network to use for your system.
The SNYPER family also performs a number of different functions to determine:
- Optimum antenna placement
- Best network performance for a site
- Evaluate performance of existing installations
- Best choice of network operator for a site
- Rank network signal strengths in order
The SNYPER has a number of signal strength thresholds within the summary page, providing a more concise view where only signals above a certain dBm / RSSI / Percentage level are of interest.
SNYPER Application Example
The SNYPER Spectrum offers all of the features for the standard SNYPER but also offers a USB mass storage device which allows you to save up to 50 full network surveys directly on to the unit. This feature allows you to perform and store multiple site surveys and is an invaluable tool for maintenance engineers and system installers when in the field. They do not want to return to base to download survey results and the save feature allows engineers to save multiple results and remain out in the field all day long going from site to site and performing multiple surveys.
The USB mass storage device acts as a standard hard drive when plugged in to a PC and the saved results can be downloaded simply and easily using Windows, MAC or Linux. Results are available as comma separated variables (CSV) and standard web page results (HTML).
The SNYPER Spectrum also offers the LiveSCAN feature. This allows you to perform a standard network survey and then perform a real time LiveSCAN of your chosen network to determine the highest signal strength in your location by moving around the site and observing the signal strength. Using the LiveSCAN directional antenna it is possible to locate the position of your network base stations in the area.
The SNYPER Graphyte offers all of the features of the SNYPER Spectrum but in addition 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 (4G, 3G and 2G combined), 4G/LTE only, 3G/UMTS only & 2G/GSM only.
The SNYPER-5G Graphyte offers all of the features of the SNYPER Spectrum but in addition the unit can be left to conduct sequential surveys in a fixed location and automatically saving them. Different types survey can be performed: a “FULL” survey (5G, 4G, 2G, CAT-M, NB-IoT combined), or you can choose an individual technology.
Both the SNYPER-LTE, 5G and IoT Graphyte can save multiple 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).
