Beam Companion for iOS

Evidence directly from the field.

Beam Companion brings AP, client, and service evidence to the iPhone. Field engineers test the site where the issue occurs and hand the results directly to NOC & Control.

Beam Companion connects mobile field analysis, remote sites, and NOC & Control
Mobile troubleshooting, service checks, and evidence collection—connected to Beam and NOC & Control.

Mobile Operations

From the site directly into the investigation.

The app guides engineers from enrollment and site status to access points, clients, and tests. A few clear steps deliver results in the same technical context used by Control.

APP START

The site is immediately in context.

Enrollment, connectivity to Control and Beam, and access to mobile tests are combined in one compact interface.

HOME

APs, clients, and heartbeat at a glance.

The engineer can immediately see whether the site is connected, how many access points and clients are available, and where to begin the next test.

Field Evidence

Do not describe it over the phone. Prove it on site.

On-site checks use the same technical language as the central platform: status, scope, metrics, response times, and evidence. The NOC receives a traceable finding instead of an ambiguous verbal report.

AP Evidence

Baseline status, radio, and switch port in one view.

Two views tell one technical story: first the access point, then its radio and Ethernet connectivity.

Beam Companion AP details and baseline status
AP DETAILS

AP details and baseline status.

Status, model, firmware, uptime, management IP, MAC address, and serial number establish the technical baseline for the investigation.

Beam Companion radio, channel, and switch-port context
RADIO & ETHERNET

Radio, channel, and switch-port context.

Band, channel, width, transmit power, local interface, switch name, and port show how the access point is actually connected.

Service Checks

Validate the physical connection and network services together.

The app combines infrastructure state with service responses, revealing whether the issue originates at the link, PoE, DNS, NTP, or further along the network path.

Beam Companion PoE, Ethernet, and link validation
POWER & LINK

PoE, Ethernet, and link validation.

Power delivery, link state, speed, duplex, and local Ethernet connectivity are validated directly at the affected access point.

Beam Companion DNS and NTP tests with technical results
DNS & NTP

DNS and NTP tests with technical results.

Resolver, lookup target, response, packet loss, runtime, NTP server, and time zone provide far more than a simple green or red status.

Client Evidence

The exact session in view.

Client details combine IP, MAC, SSID, VLAN, access point, band, channel, RSSI, and SNR. The client test brings association, authentication, DHCP, gateway, DNS, roaming, and RF into one result.

One Workflow

Field work remains part of the central investigation.

Companion is not an isolated app. Field results extend the same evidence used in the Control workspace, Monitor, and reports.
