• Scalable to any number of sensors
How it works
The Cape Networks Solution includes simple to deploy sensors, cloud-based data processing and an easy to learn web-based
administrative dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere using either Chrome or Safari. It’s ideal for any organization an
team tasked with delivering the best possible network experience with their user’s connectivity and app performance in mind.
The Sensor
The Cape Networks sensors can be placed within any high-density area where users or IoT devices are located to reduce the time to
identify and resolve app responsiveness issues. The sensor is placed at the same height where user’s devices are placed or he

Ordering information
The optional unlimited cellular subscription provides customers with additional cellular service beyond the 5 MB per month allotted
via the Cape Networks cloud/dashboard subscription. This optional subscription is recommended for locations when the celluar
connection is needed to consistently send packet captures from the sensor to the cloud.
Deployment Guidelines
Multiple sensors can be placed within an environment to monitor performance within different areas. This number is dependent on
many factors,
• One sensor per every 10 APs in a large public venue (i.e. Stadium or conference space)
