Cellular Survey

LTE and 5G NR survey data as source-aware platform events.

Cellular Survey extends the RTG Spectrum platform with serving-cell, neighbor-cell, full-scan inventory, signal-strength, and coverage-map context that can publish into the same MQTT event layer used by the other modules.

Platform module

Cellular observations become repeatable survey evidence.

The module records LTE and 5G NR observations as structured events: role, radio access technology, provider/PLMN, cell identity, PCI, frequency, band, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, timestamp, and location when available. That gives teams a browser workflow for reviewing cellular context alongside WiFi, BLE, RF Sentinel, SDR-Shark, AirScope, and PASSIVE-SHIELD evidence.

What It Contributes

  • Serving-cell and neighbor-cell survey state
  • LTE and 5G NR full-scan inventory views
  • Coverage-map points tied to signal measurements
  • Common weak-neighbor ranking and topology review
  • MQTT detection events for shared timeline integration

Trace Analyzer integration

Cellular survey events fit the shared event-plane model.

Cellular Survey uses the same MQTT-first integration pattern as the other RTG Spectrum modules. A live or simulated station can publish cellular detections into a source-aware timeline so an operator can compare cellular coverage context with GPS, WiFi, BLE, RF Sentinel, SDR-Shark, AirScope, and defense prototype events.

Claim Boundaries

  • Shown: survey observations, signal metrics, inventory, maps, MQTT events, and UI workflow
  • Not claimed: carrier-network access, cellular protocol interception, subscriber tracking, or lawful-intercept capability
  • Public screenshots use synthetic data and generic module naming

What this helps teams do

Add cellular context to RF and wireless decision workflows.

Map coverage context

Review observed LTE and 5G NR cells, signal metrics, and approximate survey coverage in one browser workflow.

Correlate across sensors

Put cellular observations beside WiFi, BLE, GPS, SDR, RF Sentinel, AirScope, and PASSIVE-SHIELD events.

Produce evidence

Capture screenshots, inventory records, ranked neighbors, and event streams that support engineering reviews and prototype pilots.
