I'll be doing some volunteer work deep in the woods of KY this summer and I need to stay connected to the internet. I'm testing a AT&T, T-mobile and Sprint Aircards with a CradlePoint CB250 wireless bridge. We will be pairing it with a Wilson 30db amplifier with a Laird antenna.
I'm trying to simulate poor cell phone coverage to review a CradlePoints CB250 Wireless Bridge. I've built a Faraday cage and can successful block all voice calls on AT&T and Cincinnat Bell networks. I put the AT&T iphone into engineering mode and it returned a -107 RSSI with normal being -65db. I can't get it to block data from the Aircards. It will cut the signal down about 20-30% but I was expecting the cage to kill all data traffic. The cage is on phase 3 of an over kill all expect for grounding it. It killed the voice calls on phase 1.
Do I have to build different Faraday cages for data vs voice?
I’m hoping that someone can teach me on cellular networks.
Thanks
Lance
