Spectra Pro is the field app for crews that install, survey, and maintain CBRS and 5G network assets. Two modes Installations: add and commission CBSDs, Wi-Fi radios, and CPE devices, then hand them off with the parameters recorded. Survey: work an assigned job list, capture site conditions, and report back to the coordinator. Map Every asset you are responsible for appears on a map with its status. Filter by type, switch layers, drop a new CBSD at your current location, and open an asset to see its full parameter set. A compass keeps the map oriented while you move around a site. Capture without typing Scan barcodes and QR codes on hardware to pull serial numbers straight into the form. Read text off equipment labels with the camera when a code is missing or damaged. Attach site photos to any asset. Stay in the loop Job assignments, coordinator messages, and status changes arrive as notifications. Each survey job has its own chat thread, so questions about a site stay attached to that site instead of scattering across texts and calls. Asset work covered Add, edit, and replace assets. Record RMAs. Decommission CBSDs and Wi-Fi units. Set the SAS provider and vendor profiles once in settings and reuse them across jobs. Spectra Pro requires an account issued by your organization. It is intended for authorized field technicians, surveyors, and coordinators.

Verdict
Fiber and Spectra are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
