The purpose of this paper is to develop measuring complex for monitoring of mobile network's coverage area. Measuring complex is client-server software. The client part of software is installed on the mobile device and the server part of software is installed on the Internet server. The complex allows collecting the following types of information: the level of signal power, the identification numbers of base stations, the coordinates of the measuring point and the parameters of the mobile device. The server part of this complex processes information, which comes from mobile devices, and interprets it as a map and distribution graphs of level of power signal of network coverage area. Additionally, the complex can be used to compute metrics of mobile devices. These metrics can be used in the process of redistribution traffic load between the mobile devices during the sending of service packs.
