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/

INTRODUCING MEKFAB, FROM TRISTAR INTERSTELLAR At TriStar we don't build one set of tools for our clients and another for ourselves. Our cargo rides the same DropShips and JumpShips that carry yours. Our Greene-Harvester combines feed our families the way they feed yours. And when our families need defending, we arm our Guards from the same catalog we sell to you. MekFab is built in that spirit. For TriStar personnel it is a sales tool: the full capacities of every machine in the catalog, a route console for scheduling delivery, and a table of organization builder that tells a customer how much lift a force will need before anyone asks. For clients, it's the same terminal. Browse the catalog, plan the route, read the transit time and the tariff, and never have to ask us the question. Choosing a new flavor of Nitro Boost is easy. You pick one up at any corner store. We understand that a 60-ton Thunderbolt II is a harder decision. So, every design in this app comes with its full simulation file, in the format your own suites already read, and you are welcome to run our whole military catalog through your own scenarios without a word from us. Build your own tables of organization and equipment and see the lift they need. Chart a route across the Inner Sphere and see what it costs and how long it takes. Take a design to the table on a Field Sheet, or print the record sheet. You may not need us today - great! Download the app. Use it for whatever purposes you have, and know that TriStar will be here when you do. — Memphis Motor Works, a TriStar Interstellar company WHAT IT DOES • Opens MegaMek unit files (MTF and BLK) and saves back to them. • Designs 'Meks, biped and quad; combat vehicles; aerospace fighters. • Battle Value and C-bill cost computed the way MegaMek computes them. • An Engineering Review against the construction rules, in plain words. • Technical readouts, printable record sheets, and a touch Field Sheet for play. • Tables of organization from a lance to a regiment, with a DropShip lift sheet. • NAV-OPS: 3,174 systems, 30 light-year jump routes, transit days and recharges. • No account. Nothing collected. Nothing leaves the device. MekFab is not affiliated with Topps, Catalyst Game Labs, Microsoft or the MegaMek project. BattleTech is a trademark of The Topps Company, Inc.
