Description

[0002] With the widespread application of NB-IoT devices across various industries, the success rate of network reporting varies significantly among different devices. Before installation, manufacturers, for example with ultrasonic IoT water meters, need to test the installation environment using an NB signal tester. Currently, NB signal testers on the market have high standby power consumption and short battery life. If carried outdoors, they require two or more recharges, increasing user costs. For example, a patent document with application number 202122287763.7 discloses a testing fixture system for an ultrasonic water meter motherboard. When testing the NB signal in the environment to select the type of IoT card used by the device, i.e., conducting selective testing for telecom, mobile, and interoperable networks, a single-step card replacement and installation test is required. The IoT cards are inserted into the card slots one by one, and each is reported. The data from the three types is then compared to determine network quality, making the process time-consuming and labor-intensive. In enclosed installation environments, using a handheld tester requires opening the cover, which results in large signal errors and unreliable data.
