Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

ComSonics CompassMPL application integrates two utility functions most useful to cable telecommunications maintenance. The MPL (Mobile Problem Locator) function provides the cable telecommunications user with the ability to record various types of issues found in the cable plant and other utilities such as power, telephone, gas, and water determined by visual inspection. The Compass functionality adds a number of options for identifying, storing and forwarding signal leakage information. Both functions forward the information to the ComSonics' Genacis server that allows for supporting job order maintenance. The CompassMPL app supports the ability to submit signal leaks, construction issues and work order closeouts for signal leakage type problems. Provisions are included for recording the location of cellular towers to help combat LTE interference issues. The CompassMPL app is integrated into the ComSonics’ GENACIS Web application and is therefore capable of interacting with signal leakage data already stored. Using this tool, the user can also customize their problem found and resolution code lists to match their individual preferences. Export file capability is provided for each utility via the web interface. A demo mode is provided to introduce the operation of the CompassMPL application. Upon entering into a subscription service with ComSonics and connecting with ComSonics GENACIS server, the application status will change to the live version with full interactivity. The subscription service limits each user to two simultaneous active devices; however, the user can add other devices by deactivating one of the two active devices. The customer is required to contact ComSonics Customer Service to begin the CompassMPL subscription service. After customer signup, the Web application will need to be set up to authenticate potential users of the service. An administrator will need to enter in their user names and passwords that will then be used for their login authentication for the Compass/MPL. Failure to authenticate will disallow connection. NOTE: Compass integration will work only with Android devices supporting Bluetooth LE.

CompassMPL APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the CompassMPL APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 6ab961bf7f0f93482a80e7c9254b1fab.
