OpenBarres

Introducing OpenBarres, a free and ad-free app provided by the National Frequency Agency (ANFR). This app allows you to easily access various information about mobile networks and signal strength. With the app, you can measure and record the signal strength received by your smartphone from 2G, 3G, 4G, and even 5G networks. The app displays the signal value in dBm, using a color-coded system to indicate the strength. You can also explore a map that shows the nearby cell towers, their operators, and the deployed technologies. Additionally, it provides details on the deployment of 5G networks in France, including technical operational sites and authorized but non-operational sites. It even informs you about the specific deployment status in your area. Furthermore, the app shares information about the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values of your mobile phone, as published by the manufacturer and verified by ANFR. OpenBarres is your comprehensive tool for staying informed about mobile networks and optimizing your exposure to radio waves.

Features of OpenBarres:

⭐️ Signal Strength Measurement: It allows you to measure and record the signal strength (2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G) received by your smartphone from your network operator. The signal strength is displayed in dBm with color codes indicating its power level.

⭐️ Technical Information: Get detailed technical information about public mobile networks, including frequencies, cell IDs, MNC, LAC, MCC, U/E/ARFCN, and more. Stay informed about the networks available in your area.

⭐️ Weekly Updates on 5G Deployment: Stay up to date with the weekly updates on the deployment of 5G networks in France without needing a 5G phone. Know which areas have 5G coverage and explore the zones where your operator's signal is strong or weak.

⭐️ Radiofrequency Exposure Information: Learn about your exposure to radio waves emitted by mobile phones. OpenBarres provides information about radiofrequency exposure and helps you understand its impact.

⭐️ Antenna-Relay Discovery: Discover nearby mobile network antennas and their operators in real-time on a map. Explore the density of antennas, adjust the map scale, and get a clear view of the surrounding infrastructure.

⭐️ DAS Values: Find out the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values of your mobile phone, as published by the manufacturer. If the SAR values have been checked by the ANFR, they will be displayed in OpenBarres.

Conclusion:

OpenBarres is a free and ad-free app provided by the National Frequencies Agency (ANFR) that offers various features to enhance your mobile network experience. Measure signal strength, access technical information, stay updated on 5G deployment, learn about radiofrequency exposure, discover nearby antennas, and find out SAR values. Download it to optimize your smartphone usage and make informed decisions regarding your mobile network connectivity.
