    activating the beacon frequency in the first cell site;

    recording, at a telecommunications switch, a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a first wireless device operating in the first cell site and a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a second wireless device operating in a second cell site; and

    determining the frequency interference between the first cell site and the second cell site based on the signal strengths.
