In short, a RF survey is used anytime the cellular radio environment in an area of interest needs to be understood. Often, surveys of these types are undertaken to corroborate and validate historic cell phone records (CDRs) in order to better determine where a device could have been when making a connection to a particular sector of a certain cell phone tower that appears in the cell phone records. By performing a RF survey (using any manner of commercially-available RF hardware) at and around a location of interest, the cell (or cells) serving that location can be identified and compared to Cell IDs found in CDR reports, giving an additional layer of forensic evidence to better inform opinions and conclusions as to the plausible locations where a mobile device could have been located at a particular time. RF surveys can also be used in real-time investigations, such as fugitive cases and missing or endangered persons.
