Impulse lets you confidently validate Cellular IoT network coverage at a specific location. No guesswork, no waiting on device logs. While we often rely on signal bars to judge cellular connectivity, most IoT devices don’t have screens, run on ultra low power, and are deployed in RF challenging environments. Impulse gives you visibility where your devices can’t.

Powered and geolocated via your mobile device (currently available on Android, with iOS coming soon) Impulse comes preconfigured to operate on leading Cellular IoT networks—no SIM setup or data plan required. Just plug it into your phone and instantly:

View RSSI and Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) from the perspective of your IoT device

Monitor network side metrics such as tower reported signal strength and quality

Trigger periodic uplinks to simulate real world data transmissions

Visualize connectivity on a live map to confirm network reach at specific GPS coordinates

Export CSV logs for post field analysis or reports

Adjust the device’s Tx Power to simulate different power battery tradeoffs

One antenna is dedicated to Cellular communication, while the second is used exclusively for GNSS reception

Impulse is KST’s preferred tool for in field validation of Cellular IoT coverage, and an essential asset for efficient deployment, troubleshooting, and network assurance.
