CableFi vs Hamina
Hamina is a modern Wi-Fi design and survey platform. CableFi does NOT perform Wi-Fi surveys — it manages the survey job, deliverables, invoicing, and follow-through. CableFi's own Wi-Fi survey engineering team uses Hamina.
TL;DR verdict
Choose CableFi if…
Cabling and LV contractors who sell Wi-Fi surveys as a job and need to manage estimates, projects, and deliverables.
Choose Hamina if…
Wireless engineers performing predictive, active, passive, and post-deployment surveys.
Bottom line
You need both. CableFi is intentionally not a Wi-Fi survey tool.
