Real-Time Cellular Diagnostics

Comprehensive Network Support

We offer full compatibility with every major network technology worldwide, including 5G NR (New Radio), 5G NSA (Non-Standalone), 4G, 4G+, LTE, WCDMA, GSM, and CDMA.

This multi-network support ensures that no matter where you are or what device you are using, you receive reliable, detailed data. Our system can differentiate between new 5G Standalone (SA) deployments and older 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) technology, providing a clear picture of your actual network capability.

Advanced Signal Metrics Explained

Move beyond vague signal bars. Our dashboard provides the raw engineering data your device uses, translating complex figures into easy-to-read signal metrics.

You can view RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), the gold standard for measuring signal strength; RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality), which indicates the quality and usability of the signal in a busy environment; RSSNR (Reference Signal Signal-to-Noise Ratio), crucial for determining interference levels; and traditional metrics like RSSI and ASU.

These metrics are fundamental for identifying true connection quality and pinpointing areas of network degradation.

Next-Generation 5G NR Signal Analysis

CellInfo provides cutting-edge 5G NR (New Radio) signal metrics that go beyond basic measurements. Our advanced 5G analysis includes CSI-RSRP (Channel State Information RSRP), CSI-RSRQ, and CSI-SINR, which are more accurate than traditional SS-RSRP measurements for beamformed 5G connections.

For devices running Android 12+, we display CQI Report (Channel Quality Indicator per subband, 0-15 scale) and CQI Table Index (showing which modulation scheme is active: 64QAM, 256QAM, or 1024QAM).

On Android 14+, our 5G NR Timing Advance feature automatically calculates your precise distance to the cell tower in microseconds, providing unprecedented accuracy for network optimisation and troubleshooting.

5G Network Slicing Detection

CellInfo is one of the first mobile apps to detect and display 5G Network Slicing information, a revolutionary feature of 5G Standalone (SA) networks.

Network slicing allows carriers to create multiple virtual networks on the same physical infrastructure, each optimised for different use cases. Our app can identify slice types, including eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) for high-speed data, URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications) for mission-critical applications, and mMTC (Massive Machine-Type Communications) for IoT devices.

This feature is essential for understanding which network slice your device is using and verifying that you’re receiving the appropriate quality of service for your application needs.

Professional-Grade Usability

CellInfo is built for power users. Our app is Dual-SIM Ready, allowing you to monitor and log signal strength and information for both SIM cards simultaneously—a vital feature for global travellers and multi-carrier users.

Furthermore, the app instantly displays critical carrier details, including MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC (Mobile Network Code), LAC/TAC (Location Area Code/Tracking Area Code), and the precise Cell ID you are connected to.

For continuous assessment, you can enable Persistent Monitoring where real-time signal updates are visible via a discreet foreground notification while you use other applications.

Enhanced Statistics: Network Usage and Band Analysis

CellInfo transforms passive signal bars into actionable, historical network data. Our statistics screen is designed for users who want to analyse their connection history, understand usage patterns, and verify the specific technology their device has accessed over time.

Deep Dive into Network Type Statistics

The Network Type Statistics display offers a comprehensive breakdown of the network sessions tracked by your device. Instead of just showing the current connection, you see a percentage distribution of the time spent on different network generations (e.g., 4G, 5G NSA, etc.) over the course of the tracking session.

This history is invaluable for identifying areas where your phone frequently drops to a slower network or verifying how often it utilises newer, faster standards.

Advanced Band Analysis and Aggregation (Expert View)

For the enthusiast or professional, our Expert View provides raw, detailed data on the specific frequency bands and technological capabilities used. This includes:

Carrier Aggregation (CA): See the exact band combinations (e.g., B20+B3) your device has utilised to achieve higher theoretical speeds (like ~600Mbps). This confirms your device is properly leveraging modern 4G LTE-A technology.
MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network): Detection of MOCN indicates shared network infrastructure between carriers, which is crucial information for understanding true coverage footprints in certain regions.
5G NR Bands: Instantly check the usage distribution for modern 5G bands (like n20 or n1), providing evidence of actual next-generation network connectivity.
