Following on from our previous article “The importance of mobile measurement for the energy sector”, we take a closer look at this topic. This article sheds light on the many possible applications of mobile measurement beyond the energy sector and shows how ENQT’s innovative solutions contribute to the optimisation of communication networks across all industries.
Ensuring network quality
Continuous monitoring and optimisation of network quality is essential for mobile network providers. By measuring parameters such as signal strength, network coverage and latency times, mobile network operators can monitor the performance of their network and make optimisations where necessary. In the energy sector, for example for the remote monitoring of wind turbines, constant data transmission must also be guaranteed in order to prevent or avoid costly repairs. With devices such as the Netztester 2 and the AMS, ENQT offers advanced test devices for measuring and analysing these network parameters.
Fault diagnosis and rectification
When faults occur in mobile networks, this can have a significant impact, especially on critical infrastructure such as energy distribution networks. Rapid diagnosis and rectification are then crucial in order to restore service.
Mobile network measurements, using the ENQT network testers, help to identify the exact location and cause of the fault, enabling targeted and efficient troubleshooting. This is crucial to minimise downtime and ensure the reliability of the power supply.
Network planning and expansion
Mobile network measurement is essential for mobile operators looking to expand or improve their networks. It provides valuable data on existing network coverage and performance, enabling informed decision-making regarding their locations for new base stations, technology upgrades or additional capacity.
Industrial applications
ENQT offers corresponding antennas for the various wireless standards. For example, ENQT offers antennas for the frequency range in the 868Mhz network, especially for Wireless M-Bus and LoRa. This enables an improved connection for monitoring and controlling networks.
More and more industries are recognising the importance of mobile radio-based sensors, control systems and robust mobile radio connections. Whether in the energy, healthcare or transport sectors, cellular measurement can help improve efficiency, safety and productivity. For example, machines in production supported by mobile communications can be controlled and monitored more accurately, minimising production downtime.
Autonomous driving
A robust and reliable mobile phone connection is crucial for autonomous vehicles. Updates and real-time data are some of the foundations for traffic safety. Mobile network measurements can help to identify and rectify connection problems in the regions at an early stage, thereby increasing the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles. We can help here with mobile radio measurement drives and the innovative AMS measurement box for the necessary data basis and the creation of coverage maps. Your own mobile network overview is therefore not far away.
Security applications & telemedicine
In the security industry, including police, fire and rescue services, cellular measurement can help ensure communication in critical situations. Optimised mobile connectivity helps to maintain life-saving communication links & speed up diagnoses to improve patient care, especially in areas with difficult conditions such as tunnels, buildings, rural or hard-to-reach areas. This applies in particular to the field of telemedicine.
Solutions such as various LTE antennas, products for mobile radio measurement and special adapters that enable stable and secure data transmission can be found on the website.
Rollout of smart metering systems:
Smart metering systems are an essential part of modern energy infrastructures. They enable precise and timely recording of consumption data, which is essential for efficient energy management. The measurement technology developed by ENQT for mobile communications, such as the “Netztester 2”, plays a decisive role here. It ensures optimum installation and communication of the smart meter gateways with the mobile phone network. This promotes efficient data transmission and analysis and, above all, cost savings during rollout and an increase in the installation rate.
Installation of emergency call systems in lifts
The installation of emergency call systems in lifts is another important area of application for mobile radio technology. ENQT offers special solutions for this that ensure reliable and fast communication in an emergency. Products such as powerful LTE antennas and corresponding installation packages ensure that lifts can maintain a stable connection even in buildings with weak network coverage. This technology is essential in order to be able to call for help quickly in emergency situations and is therefore an important part of the safety concept in modern buildings.
Conclusion
Mobile communications and ensuring sufficient, stable reception are essential tools in today’s digitally connected world. It is the backbone of reliable, high-performance mobile communications, which is central to so many aspects of our lives and work. ENQT offers innovative solutions for cellular measurement that make it possible to meet the challenges in this complex and constantly evolving field.
