Cellular Surveying | Mark Houtz | WLPC Phoenix 2025

Ever wondered if you could do cellular surveying without spending $50K on carrier tools? Mark Houtz (CWNE #500) walks you through a powerful, low-cost approach to surveying private cellular networks—using tools like the WLAN Pi, open-source dashboards, GPS, and Eino integrations. In this session from #WLPC Phoenix 2025, Mark shares his personal journey from working with underfunded school districts to developing custom tools for CBRS, LTE, and 5G surveying—unlocking capabilities normally locked behind expensive hardware. This talk covers: • What makes private cellular surveying hard (and expensive) • How to adapt Wi-Fi survey tools for cellular networks • Using the WLAN Pi with modems, Grafana, and GPS • Drive testing and heatmaps with CSV exports into Eino • Ideas for building toward autonomous drone surveys 📎 Slide Deck & More: 👉 https://www.thewlpc.com/presentations... ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Intro & Why Cellular Surveying Is Broken 01:02 – The $50K Tool Problem and the WLAN Pi Alternative 01:55 – Applying CWNE Concepts to Private Cellular 02:30 – What Makes a Survey a Survey?
