{"answer":"The sensible way is to test before committing. Check signal quality, not just bars, from likely mounting points. Compare carriers where possible and pay attention to the practical path of the coaxial cable back to the router, because a brilliant signal location can be undermined by a long or lossy cable run.\n\nComset\u2019s cellular-tower and signal-testing guidance is useful here because good antenna placement is part radio planning and part common sense. The right location is the one that gives the best overall system result, not just the most dramatic ladder story.","approval_status":"review_build_pending_public_brain_audit","approved":true,"category":"Cell Tower Location and Signal Testing","category_slug":"cell-tower-location-and-signal-testing","created_at":"2026-07-21T09:10:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-07-21","display_date":"2026-07-21","drip_status":"scheduled","freshness_note":"Confirm current specifications, carrier compatibility, stock, firmware, warranty and commercial terms directly with Comset.","id":"comset-qa-107","image_ids":["comset-product-range-antennas","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-017-cell-tower-location-and-signal-testing"],"language":"en","last_updated":"2026-07-21T09:10:00+00:00","matched_image_ids":["comset-product-range-antennas","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-017-cell-tower-location-and-signal-testing"],"public_brain_verified":false,"publish_status":"published_preview","published_at":"2026-07-21T09:10:00+00:00","question":"How do I work out the best side of a building for the antenna before drilling holes everywhere?","question_intent":"public_guidance","question_type":"conversational_public_guidance","real_image_mapping_status":"mapped_to_approved_comset_catalogue_v1_6","site_key":"comset","slug":"how-do-i-work-out-the-best-side-of-a-building-for-the-antenna-before-drilling-holes-everywhere","source":"comset_manual_review_v1_5","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"manual_review_from_public_sources","source_urls":["https://comset.com.au/how-to-find-your-nearest-cellular-tower","https://comset.com.au/how-to-locate-a-cellular-tower-based-on-cell-id"],"tags":["manual","reviewed","customer_style"],"tenant_slug":"comset","updated_at":"2026-07-21T09:10:00+00:00"}
