Introduction
The MA8100A TRX NEON Signal Mapper is a 3D in-building coverage mapping solution that
is integrated for use with Anritsu handheld spectrum analyzer products to automatically
collect geo-referenced test data with every step. The system allows you to perform coverage
testing of RF communications systems both indoors and outdoors. It uses inertial data from a
wearable tracking device to enable real-time 3D location and mapping inside buildings. The
system incorporates GPS data when line of sight to GPS satellites is available.

NEON Signal Mapper
The NEON Signal Mapper provides the Android user interface to test signal coverage and to
create heat maps. RF data is captured by an Anritsu Handheld Spectrum Analyzer and sent
to the Android device, typically via a USB connection. Users can edit building data, initialize
their location, start and stop the recording of signal data, and upload mapping data to the
NEON Cloud.
NEON Command
The NEON Command is a PC-based map editing and tracking software that enables the
creation and visualization of 3D building maps. It allows the user to create building outlines,
add floor plans, and generate heat maps of geo-referenced measurement results. The file
export feature lets you generate reports of the signal map data. NEON Command also
provides centralized access to the NEON Cloud Service to store and retrieve maps and
measurement data.
