Measure GPS Signal Strength

About this task

If you are using anchor-APs with an integrated GPS unit, then use a smart phone and measure the GPS signal strength before you install the APs. The phone must be running an application that can report GPS-only derived geo-locations. The following are possible applications:

  • GPS Status

  • GnssLogger

Procedure

  1. Position the phone at the proposed AP placement area and wait up to 30 minutes for a GPS lock.
    If the phone does not report a GPS coordinate, the location has poor GPS signal and is not recommended for an anchor AP.
  2. Repeat Step 1 for each anchor AP.
