Abstract: A sensor based monitoring system (SBMS) for a wireless communications network, a monitoring device for the SBMS, and a SBMS server are provided herein. In one example, the SBMS includes: (1) a monitoring device configured to collect antenna data of an antenna mounted on a communications structure of a wireless communications network and communicate the antenna data over a wireless network, and (2) a SBMS server configured to provide actionable intelligence based on the antenna data and system data of the wireless communications network from at least one other data source.

Abstract: A network test system, a method of performing site acceptance testing for a communications network site, and a computer program product for testing a communications network site are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the network test system includes: (1) a mobile testing device configured to collect RF data from the communications network site and device location data corresponding to the RF data, and (2) a shakedown server configured to receive the RF data and device location data from the mobile testing device, derive depth data and spread data of each sector based on the RF data and device location data, and automatically determine a MIMO issue at the communications network site based on a comparison of the depth and spread data to pre-defined scenarios.
