Use cases
Beacon’s audience has broadened as the core product has become more specific: the common need is persistent, independent visibility into real-world Internet quality.
See whether the connection is actually healthy—not merely online—and build evidence around recurring service issues.
Track the latency, jitter, packet loss, DNS/HTTPS responsiveness, and short disruptions that can freeze calls, VPN sessions, and remote desktops.
Understand latency variation, jitter, loss, and throughput degradation that users perceive as lag, buffering, or a “drop” even when connectivity remains technically up.
Observe customer-facing Wi-Fi and Internet quality at restaurants, campgrounds, marinas, rental properties, venues, and other shared-access locations.
Capture intermittent complaints that self-heal before a support call, then distinguish local Wi-Fi behavior from shared network or upstream impairment.
Place independent user-edge Beacons at sites to identify degradation earlier and approach troubleshooting with evidence instead of anecdotes.
Keep a persistent local observer at locations where no one is available to reproduce an intermittent problem on demand.
Expose the same simple consumer-grade status through progressively deeper views, down to path telemetry, events, throughput, Wi-Fi metrics, and API data.
