Routine Compliance Measurements

The routine nature of this work is greatly simplified by using a mini-computer and GPS to ensure that measurements are taken in the same position every time that a site is visited.  The mini-computer is also used to control the Narda to perform field strength measurements, thereby ensuring that the same correct measurement setup is used for all measurements.  The highly automated nature of process also means that surveying teams can operate with infrequent supervision of technical specialists or managers.
