 Real deployment data for cellular networks can be very convenient when elaborating simulation scenarios in scientific papers. In the following, we present an automation tool that enables to extract the geographical data of the base stations for the mobile operators in France.
-===== Output at a Glance  =====
+===== -- Prerequisites =====
+You need a working python distribution with the following packages:
+  * [[https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium | selenium]]
+  * [[http://matplotlib.org/index.html | matplotlib]]
-- Go to http://www.antennesmobiles.fr/, select the antenna types, the city and copy the antenna ids (at the bottom of the page) in a text file (see for example orange-3G-rennes.csv)
+You also need to have a valid subscription on the [[http://www.cartoradio.fr/cartoradio/web/|ANFR]] (Agence Nationale des Fréquences) website.
+===== -- Method of Operation  =====
+. Download or fork my repository from [[https://github.com/samerlahoud/cellular-network-map | GitHub]].
+. Launch the crawler script from your command line. The argument of the script corresponds to the postal code as in:
+  python antennes-mobiles-crawler.py 75014
+You should obtain a text file named ''network-map-75014.txt'' in the ''/data'' directory. This file contains information on the antennas in the selected geographical area.
