LinkWave Interface LinkWave Interface is the official companion app for the LinkWave Core RFID sensing and analytics platform. Designed for automation systems, laboratories, production lines, and research environments, the app brings powerful RFID intelligence to your fingertips. With an intuitive interface and seamless integration, LinkWave Interface helps you manage, monitor, and analyze your system in real time. Take Control Anywhere With the built-in Control Panel, you can remotely manage LinkWave Core operations, monitor antenna performance, check system health, and ensure stable RFID detection. The interface mirrors the on-device LCD display, giving you full access to critical functions even when you are away from the hardware. Track and Review Sessions The Sessions Manager allows you to store and revisit past sessions with ease. Whether you are validating experiments in the lab, analyzing production runs in a factory, or reviewing historical performance data, the app gives you clear and organized access to all recorded sessions. Real-Time Show Control With Show Control, you can view live RFID data as it happens. Instantly track detected tags, observe material recognition, monitor orientation changes, and view calculated positions. Every update is powered by LinkWave’s machine learning algorithms, which process and interpret RFID signals with high accuracy and low latency. Smarter Insights Through Machine Learning LinkWave Core uses advanced machine learning algorithms to enhance standard RFID signals. The app provides direct access to these enriched insights, transforming raw tag detections into actionable intelligence. You’ll see not just “what was detected” but also where it is, what it’s attached to, and how it’s oriented. Flexible for Every Environment • Automation systems – Improve efficiency by tracking movement, detecting conditions, and triggering actions. • Laboratories – Gain precise experimental data, validated in real time. • Manufacturing lines – Ensure quality and traceability with location and material monitoring. • Research & Development – Use advanced analytics to test, explore, and validate RFID-driven experiments. Key Features at a Glance • Full Control Panel for managing system operations • Sessions Manager with detailed history and playback • Show Control with real-time tag detection and analytics • Mirror access to the on-device LCD display • Fast, accurate, and reliable machine learning–enhanced results • Simple, clear design for operators, researchers, and engineers

About

SignalMap WiFi

Features
Read full description

SignalMap turns a walk around your home into a clear Wi-Fi signal heatmap. Scan your room layout, collect real local-network measurements, and see where coverage is strong, weak, or unstable. SignalMap works on LiDAR devices for richer room geometry and also supports regular camera scanning on non-LiDAR iPhones and iPads. What you can do: • Build a 2D Wi-Fi heatmap from real gateway latency, jitter, packet loss and score samples • Scan floor plans with LiDAR when available, or use the camera fallback on supported devices • See weak rooms, dead zones and places where a mesh node may help • Detect multiple Wi-Fi nodes and visualize each node's territory • Check Mesh roaming quality, handoff drops and sticky-device behavior • Explore a 3D signal view and export clean PDF reports with Pro • Keep scan history on device for repeated home network checks SignalMap is designed for homes, apartments, studios, offices and small spaces where router placement matters. Walk slowly through each room, keep lighting good for camera scans, then use the map to decide where to move your router, add a mesh node, or re-test after changes. Privacy first: scans stay on device. SignalMap does not track you and does not upload your floor plan or network measurements. Terms of Use: https://hilalum.github.io/terms/signalmap/
