Cell-ID is a tool to analyze your mobile network signals. It shows you signal strength, cell history, and network details using AT commands. The app works with many different hardware devices. You can use it to improve your network coverage or check the security of surrounding cell towers.
The software supports various mobile network indicators like IMSI, MCC, MNC, LAC, and ISSI. This helps in accurately identifying and tracking cells around you.
- A Windows PC running Windows 10 or higher.
- A compatible mobile device or modem that supports AT command communication.
- Internet connection to download the software.
