The Daily Populous Friday November 30th, 2018 morning edition
I commute to work and the guy in front of me put this up. While this was up, he was watching something on this phone and had headphones on. At one moment on phone in the suitcase seemed to turn on, displaying the SAMSUNG Galaxy symbol. Nothing more happened.
If I had to guess they're probably recording network reception for a number of different carriers to create a coverage map. Similar to those cars with a bunch of weird antennas, but more portable.
I am pretty sure this is someone testing signal coverage on trains. Ive seen mobile phone press journalists use those to test different mobile service providers' coverage
I've used a similar setup for testing cellular coverage. Some of these are commercially available, but many are just hacked together by the company engineers.
