What exact site data should I gather to compare 4G vs 5G?

4G LTE and 4GX Routers · 2026-09-11

On-site data to collect includes which carriers work there, which 4G/5G bands are available, and real signal quality metrics (updatesI, SINR, observed throughput) at the router location. Note any obstacles like walls or metal structures that affect reception. Usage profile matters: list every device and interface (LAN, Wi‑Fi, serial, GPIO), expected data volumes (peak vs average), and what needs remote access or VPNs. Also capture uptime requirements and failover expectations so you know whether the site can tolerate a temporary outage. Hardware and test plan: power availability, enclosure, mounting constraints, antenna placement, and whether dual-SIM or remote management is needed. Plan a short pilot or bench test to compare a 4G/4GX vs 5G solution under real conditions, measuring latency, jitter, and stability. Comset can help set up a side-by-side test plan once you share the site data.
