All smart devices that support a SIM card are first connected to one of the cell towers around you during startup; Each antenna tower has special information according to its capabilities, which can be very useful in some cases. For this purpose, various special softwares have been published in this field, and we intend to introduce one of the best of them. Network Cell Info Lite is a powerful application for monitoring the network and displaying cell tower information for Android tablets and phones, developed by Wilysis and published in the Google Play market. The above program helps to see and evaluate the strength of communication signals at any time and place. Perhaps one of the most popular facilities available in this startup can be considered the location of the communication cell tower, which is very important for network professionals. Both SIM cards are supported at the same time and there are no restrictions on the type of connection networks. It is better not to miss this useful software and to get it, stay with us in the following article.
Some features and capabilities of the Network Cell Info Lite Android program:
Monitor link network information in real time
Support for all types of communication methods with the network
