  • GNSS_GPS_Measurement_Report
  • GNSS_Glonass_Measurement_Report
  • GNSS_BDS_Measurement_Report
  • GNSS_GAL_Measurement_Report

• Internet-of-Things (IoT): Starting from this version, MobileInsight will also progressively support data collection and analytics of cellular IoT. The first release supports the following messages:

  • LTE_NB1_Random_Access_Request_Report
  • LTE_NB1_Random_Access_Response_Report
  • LTE_NB1_UE_Identification_Message_Report
  • LTE_NB1_Contention_Resolution_Message_Report
