Hello, I wonder if there is a satellite service capable to detect and draw on a map the field of cells of a mobile carrier in order to stream real time the network restoration thank you.
Giuseppe
That’s a good question but I don’t think it’s currently possible.
The data is supplied as a spreadsheet and only has the location of the basestations.
I know that OpenSignal is working on an app that creates heatmaps but this still doesn’t work in realtime.
To tell the truth I was thinking not to: somebedy takes the data > tha data is diaplayed graphically; I wonder if exists a device capable to detect the EM field and to display it real time as a 3D object so to create a map from it.
Thank you.
Giuseppe
