“Monitoring Wi-Fi from the user's perspective is key for us. It saves us travel time and warns us about network issues.”
“Cape Sensors give me visibility into what my users are experiencing in any office around the world at any time. I can see if we have issues and take corrective action before clients or users even know there is an issue.”
“Cape consistently assisted in reducing MTTR of salient network issues.”
It doesn't look like any Wi-Fi monitoring tool you've ever seen, because it isn't.
This dashboard is the product of years of frustration with existing tools, plus decades of usability, information design and software development expertise. Your job is difficult enough already. We want you to have a dashboard that you don't need to learn, and don't need a certification to use.
Under each traffic light, indicators show you the status of each location, SSID, service, and application.
With zero unnecessary charts or clutter, you can focus on what's most important: are your users experiencing great Wi-Fi?
The simple dashboard is just the tip of an iceberg of information.

Our Smart Notification system groups notifications to avoid alert fatigue. If an alert is still bothering you, mute it with one click.
Our data processing and dashboards are cloud-based: robust, scalable, don't need installation, and can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Mobile backup connectivity and power backup means you never lose sight of your Wi-Fi.
Nobody wants a deluge of alerts when something goes wrong, or when an issue you know about keeps popping up. That's why we've built a host of features to help you only receive the alerts that matter to you.
Our algorithm intelligently groups similar notifications before alerting you
Suppress notifications from a specific site or app with one click
Adjust thresholds to match your Wi-Fi environment
Set different notification rules for when you're at work and at home
Choose how you want to receive different kinds of notifications
Connect notifications to Slack and PagerDuty
We use Amazon and Google's cloud platforms to store and process data, keeping it safe, secure, and always available.
No on-premises servers means no setup
Dashboards are accessible via Chrome and Safari
No limit to the number of sensors
The fully managed onboard mobile connection makes setup seamless by removing the need to manually set up each sensor. It also provides connectivity to the device when it cannot connect to Wi-Fi, cannot authenticate, or when the Wi-Fi's backhaul is down.
A mobile connection means the sensor is always online and always uploading data, so you never lose sight of your network.
It happens—someone uplugs the power adapter or the POE port goes down. Without backup power you can't tell the difference between a power issue and a network issue. With your sensors installed at remote locations you can't afford to worry about their status.
An array of supercapacitors provides backup power for the sensor to notify you of the power issue, make sure the network is still up, and enter sleep mode gracefully.
To users, Wi-Fi is the Internet. So "the Wi-Fi is broken" could mean there is a Wi-Fi issue, or it could mean something else is wrong: LAN, DHCP, DNS, Authentication, print servers, captive portal, Active Directory, an AWS instance, YouTube, Google... the list goes on. Cape Sensors can test all of these and more.
