See every radio.Know the second one drops.

netmap finds every tower, sector, station and PPPoE customer on its own and draws them as one live map. When a radio drops, it tells you which one, what went down with it, and how many customers are affected.

02How it works

Point it at your gateways. It maps the rest.

No drawing by hand and no spreadsheets of MAC addresses. netmap reads the network the way your engineers would, every 15 minutes, without getting tired.

  1. 01 / 04

    Connect

    Add your gateway radios and your MikroTik PPPoE router. netmap signs in over SSH and the RouterOS API, and only reads.

    ssh [email protected] ok
    api 10.30.30.1:8729 ok
  2. 02 / 04

    Discover

    It walks outward from every gateway, reads each radio's identity and RF stats, and works out which access point each station hears.

    discover → 28 neighbours
    mca-status → 150 radios
  3. 03 / 04

    Place customers

    Live PPPoE sessions are matched against the radios' bridge tables, so each customer appears under the radio that actually serves them.

    /ppp/active → 296 sessions
    279 placed · 17 via relay

    Watch

    Every radio is pinged on a rolling sweep. One lost packet is not an outage. Two misses in a row are, and you hear about it at once.

No new hardware and nothing to install on the radios. netmap reads the equipment you already run.

Alarms that name the cause

When a sector goes down you get one alarm for the sector, with the radios and customers behind it, instead of two dozen separate beeps. The same alarm reaches your Telegram group.

09Questions

Before you buy

Does netmap need the internet or a cloud account?

No. It runs on a mini-PC inside your network and keeps the map, the history and your customer names there.

Which equipment does it work with?

Ubiquiti airMAX M and AC radios (LiteAP, LiteBeam, PowerBeam, NanoStation, Rocket and others), Mimosa C5x and C5c, MikroTik RouterOS for PPPoE, and MikroTik 60 GHz links.

Will it change anything on my radios?

Mapping and monitoring only read. A setting changes only when an admin or operator applies it on purpose, after seeing a preview. The router account can stay read-only.

How long does setup take?

About 15 minutes on a fresh mini-PC: run one install script, sign in, then add your gateway radios and PPPoE router in Settings. The first map appears after the first scan.

Can I use it outside the office?

Yes, from any browser over your own VPN, including your phone.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of your network. Send us your radio count with the Buy button and we reply with a price.

What happens after I send a request?

We reply on WhatsApp with a price for your network, set up your license, and install it with you.
