Optimization Features
Is it COMPASS a survey tool?
No, The Cel-Fi COMPASS is a RF installation tool that enables
installers and integrators to install and optimize Cel-Fi equip-
ment. This will include Cel-Fi public safety boosters and the
Cel-Fi QUATRA that previously required an internet connection
to be commissioned and managed.
Do I need a SIM card to operate the COMPASS?
Yes, but for accurate reporting, an ACTIVE SIM card is needed
per carrier, which means you must insert a separate SIM Card
for each network operator.
What is the size of SIM card I should use with COMPASS?
The unit accepts standard SIM only. You'll need an adapter for
micro and nano SIM cards.
