User Guide

We built SurfScan because we needed it and it didn't exist. After years of deploying networks at live events and broadcasts, we got tired of the guessing game. Carrier maps that meant nothing and told us even less. Signal bars that lied.

So we built the tool we wished we'd had. SurfScan is a portable cellular analyzer that measures what actually matters: real coverage, real capacity, in minutes. SurfScore ratings give you ground truth for public networks, CBRS, FirstNet, and private mobile - before you commit, before you deploy, before it has to work.

SurfScan is a portable cellular network analyzer that measures what actually matters: real coverage, real capacity, real signal quality—in minutes. GPS-integrated scanning gives you ground truth for public networks, CBRS, FirstNet, and private mobile networks before you commit, before you deploy, before it has to work.

Key Capabilities:

  • FirstNet Network Verification: Verify emergency services network coverage (PLMN 313-100) before deployment

  • Bonded LTE Analysis: Get band recommendations for multi-WAN uplink bonding (2-8 connections) for broadcast and live streaming

  • CBRS Analysis: Analyze Citizens Broadband Radio Service (Band 48) networks for private LTE/5G deployments

  • GPS-Integrated Scanning: Real-time location tracking with industry-standard gpsd integration

  • Professional Reports: Generate specialized reports (CBRS, FirstNet, Bonded LTE) with SurfScore™ ratings

  • Portable & Fast: Deploy in minutes, get results in minutes—not hours or days

Use Cases:

  • Event Production: Where do you need to augment or build out your own communications backup? Know before you go with detailed coverage and capacity data.

  • Broadcast Production: Ensure bonded cellular will work before live broadcast goes on air

  • First Responders: Verify FirstNet coverage before emergency deployment • Network Integrators: Site surveys and carrier selection with real data, not marketing maps

  • Point of Sale: Can the mobile networks deliver reliable connectivity for mission-critical POS systems? You need to fill in the blanks between the bars (pun intended) with real data on capacity and coverage for all operators.

SurfScore™ ratings give you ground truth—signal strength, quality, bandwidth, and capacity metrics that carrier maps and signal bars can't provide.

When the truth says coverage won't cut it, we also provide private 5G networks that deploy in five minutes.
