How it works

From the network to the culprit, in four steps

Open the project, run a scan and the rest sorts itself out. Nothing to declare device by device, nothing to install on the radios.

  1. Step 01

    Scan the range

    Discovery through ping and the system ARP table. You declare the range, not the devices.

  2. Step 02

    It sorts itself out

    On login every radio reports its mode and lands in stations, APs or other devices.

  3. Step 03

    Live monitoring

    Signal, capacity, latency and load for every device, refreshing without you touching anything.

  4. Step 04

    It tells you what happened

    The diagnosis names the likely cause and the sentinel sends it to your phone.

01 · Monitoring

Every link's signal, as it happens

One table for the whole network: local and remote signal in dBm, link quality, modulation, capacity, latency and the AP each client hangs from.

  • Traffic light per device: good, warning or critical
  • Counters on top that double as filters: how many are good, how many need a look, how many are missing
  • Columns you choose, instant search with Ctrl+K
  • A table of its own for APs, with stations, airtime, CPU and free RAM

Signal 9 dB below the one expected at its distance (exp. -54 dBm)

Low link quality: 44 %

Downlink far below expected: 70 of 156 Mbps

Those three lines are the literal text the app shows on a critical station.

02 · Diagnosis

Seven axes watch the link. One answers you.

The status chip is not a signal meter: it is the worst of seven axes evaluated at once. That is why it can turn red with a flawless signal — and tell you why.

  • Compares against the signal expected at that distance, not against a fixed number
  • Mark a healthy link as OK and from then on it is judged against your own baseline
  • It sees the wired leg: an AP that used to negotiate 1000 Mbps and now gives 100 throttles its whole sector
  • Latency measured by the radio itself, with warnings from 12 ms and critical at 24 ms

The thresholds come from field cases and keep being tuned; the app explains under Help how they were set, and the user guide publishes the current ones.

03 · Network design

Plan before you climb the tower

Place your nodes on the map and look at each sector's coverage, with its bearing, its reach and the clients hanging off it. The next rollout stops being decided from memory.

  • Sectors drawn per AP, with their links and their located stations
  • A card per device with signal, SNR, CINR, distance, frequency and its diagnosis
  • Planned APs: draw the one that does not exist yet and see who it would reach
  • A lock so nothing already in place gets dragged by accident

Service sentinel

Smart alerts straight to your phone

SignalScope watches your network continuously and alerts you the moment anything goes technically wrong: dropped sessions, unreachable radios or swings in signal.

The alerts reach your WhatsApp or your Telegram, intelligently consolidated.

Link / LAN loss20 s1 h
Session dropped1 min4 h
AP saturation5 min6 h
Misaligned antenna30 min24 h

The Sentinel runs in the background while the application stays open. Sending external alerts (WhatsApp/Telegram) needs an active internet connection on the monitoring machine.

Frequency planner

Where there is free air left in your own spectrum

Not a generic analyser: it draws the spectrum your APs occupy, with their centre frequency and channel width, and suggests where the next one fits.

And then, every day

What you need to work

Snapshots and history

Capture the state of the network at the exact moment and compare it with other moments. It widens your view of how it evolves.

Reports in PDF, Excel and CSV

Generate a report of the network's latest state, filter what you need and download it in the format you prefer.

Fast navigation

Use keyboard shortcuts to move around the app without losing focus, and the search to find a device in seconds.

Absence labels

Mark the devices that are missing from the network to keep better track of them.

Encrypted .sscope project

Baselines, masks, snapshots and credentials travel in an encrypted file that only you open.

Per-link latency

Measured from both ends of the link, with average, peak and persistence, and contrasted with SignalScope.

Ethernet port status

The app understands how each port behaves and warns you when there are problems.

Cascade login

One credential opens a session across the whole estate, in order, without going device by device.

Network score

A grade for the whole estate, with the split of good, warning and critical.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about SignalScope

Can't find your answer? Our support team will reply to you directly at support@materis.io.

Can SignalScope change my radios' configuration?

No, and that's a design decision: the application is strictly read-only. It never sends configuration commands to a radio, so there's no risk of taking a link down by accident.

Which devices are supported?

Ubiquiti airMAX radios, any model running airOS, over HTTPS and SSH, and MikroTik devices running RouterOS 6 and 7, over SSH. The rest of your network (switches, ONUs, customer routers) you watch as References.

Which systems does it run on?

Windows 10 and 11, available on the Microsoft Store. No drivers or extra dependencies to install.

Does the sentinel watch with the app closed?

No. The sentinel watches while SignalScope is open, and from there it sends the alerts to your WhatsApp or Telegram. It runs in the background, so you can close the window.

Do I need a card for the trial?

No. The 30-day trial includes every feature, is entirely local and asks for no email, sign-up or card.

How do I receive my licence?

When you buy the licence you get an email with the key. Delivery takes a few minutes, except for bank transfers, which need manual confirmation.

Which payment methods are available?

Mercado Pago and bank transfer (BCP, Interbank).

Where do I see my purchases and renewal dates?

There is a customer portal. There you can see your purchases and renewal dates, add machines to your licence and get support.

I already have a licence — how do I add machines?

From your portal: in your subscription you raise the number of machines and pay only for the stretch that is left. The renewal date does not move. Each customer has a single subscription per product, so buying another licence would not add machines to the one you already have.

Does it renew automatically?

No. The licence lasts 12 months from activation and creates no automatic charges: to carry on, you renew the period from your portal and Materis issues the payment.

Can I switch computers?

Yes. Each licence authorises the number of activations stated at purchase, and you can release an activation from within the application to use it on another computer. If you lost access to the machine, write to us and we'll free the slot.

Is my network data stored in the cloud?

No. Everything the application discovers about your infrastructure is stored locally and encrypted on your own computer: there is no copy on our servers, no usage analytics and no sharing with third parties. The only feature that sends network data off the machine is the messaging alerts, and it is off by default. The privacy policy spells it out.

Licence

Your annual licence

There is a single plan. We email you your activation key as soon as the payment is confirmed.

One activation equals one computer, and it lasts 12 months from the day you activate it.
