Surveying RF Networks Just Got Easier, Faster, & More Affordable

A Smarter Way to Survey RF Networks

Whether it’s cellular, WiFi, or public safety networks, developing a solution for reliable connectivity starts with a site survey.

But traditional site surveys? They’re often expensive, slow, and require bulky gear or specialized RF training. Even then, getting the data you need can take time.

The iBwave Mobile Survey + Scanner changes that. This lightweight, all-in-one solution makes site surveys faster, easier, and more affordable, giving IT teams, system integrators, and field teams a smarter way to work in the field.

What is the iBwave Mobile Survey Tool?

The iBwave Mobile Survey is a wireless site survey tool designed to simplify how you capture, analyze, and visualize RF data.

It combines the iBwave Mobile Survey software, an Android tablet, and the lightweight PRiSM RF signal scanner into one portable kit—so you can perform fast, accurate site surveys for LTE, 5G, WiFi, and public safety networks.

Forget bulky laptops or complicated hardware. With this integrated setup, you can scan, visualize, and generate reports, right from the palm of your hand (literally). Whether you’re surveying a corporate campus or a public safety facility, this kit puts everything you need in one compact, easy-to-carry system.

How Does the iBwave Mobile Survey Tool Work?

The iBwave Mobile Survey toolkit includes:

• An Android Tablet
• The iBwave Mobile Survey Software
• The Lightweight PRiSM RF Signal Scanner

Setup is simple. Download the iBwave Mobile Survey app onto the tablet, log in, connect the PRiSM scanner, and you’re ready to go. You can load a floor plan or sketch one directly on the mobile survey app, then start scanning.

You have the option to choose from three scanner models, each tailored to specific network types:

• 5G + LTE: Designed for accurate 5G and LTE network testing.
• P25: Optimized for public safety network grid testing and compliance checks.
• 5G + LTE + P25: All-in-one scanner for full-spectrum visibility.

Every option also includes WiFi scanning.

Once connected, the scanner works seamlessly with the app, allowing you to conduct site surveys, grid testing (for P25), and real-time data collection with no extra hardware or RF expertise required. Upon purchasing, you’ll receive onboarding emails and video tutorials to help you get started quickly.

Key Features that Make Site Surveying Simpler

The iBwave Mobile Survey + Scanner was built to solve the everyday challenges of site surveying. Here are the standout features designed to save time, reduce hassle, and deliver the data you need:

Portability & Integration

The PRiSM scanner weighs less than 6 ounces and magnetically attaches to the tablet for easy carrying. You can move freely through any site—indoors or outdoors—without requiring a laptop to perform the survey, generate reports, or view results. The entire system fits in your hand, making on-demand surveys simpler than ever before.

Real-Time Data Visualization

See signal strength and quality metrics live as you walk the site. That means no waiting on a survey company or off-site analysis. You get immediate insights right in the field, helping you spot and troubleshoot issues as they happen.

Deep Signal Insights with Network Scan

Using the Network Scan feature, you can view all available signals in the area, including channel information, providers, and signal strength. Apply filters to focus on specific bands, allowing you to streamline data collection and avoid gathering unnecessary information for quicker testing.

Real-Time Scanning, Mapping, and Heatmaps

Map signal performance directly onto site floorplans using stop-and-go, continuous, or GPS-enabled scanning modes. For public safety networks, grid testing helps ensure compliance with coverage standards. And with built-in heatmapping tools powered by iBwave’s proprietary algorithms, you can visualize coverage directly on the tablet.

On-the-Go Annotation Tools

Capture site photos, add voice notes, and make markups directly onto geo-tagged points on your site map. These tools help bridge the gap between survey and system design, reducing guesswork, streamlining communication, and preventing costly mistakes.

Smarter Collaboration with Unity Cloud

Easily share data with your team using the Unity Cloud platform. Reports are generated in just a few taps, which means no waiting for manual exports or outside analysis. With smoother handoffs between survey and design, your team saves time, reduces errors, and keeps every project on track.

Why It’s Time to Streamline RF Network Surveys

For IT teams, RF integrators, and public safety installers, every project comes with time and budget pressures. The iBwave Mobile Survey + Scanner helps ease both.

With its simple setup, real-time data capture, and built-in reporting tools, iBwave reports cutting site survey times by up to 15–20%—all without sacrificing quality. That efficiency adds up across multiple projects.

It’s also a smarter investment. Compared to traditional site survey equipment, the iBwave Mobile Survey solution has been shown to reduce costs by up to 60%. And because it’s an all-in-one system, there’s no need to budget for extra hardware or software add-ons.

Whether you’re managing networks for corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, or schools focused on public safety, reliable in-building coverage is critical—not just for connectivity, but for safety and compliance. A streamlined site survey process is often the first step in making that happen.
