FORESIGHT · NETWORK DESIGNER · PRE-LAUNCH

Design the network once.

Design a network in one place, and you stop fighting the drift. The floor plan, the equipment, the WiFi coverage, the cable runs, the bill of materials, the client quote and the install checklist are all the same design — not seven files that disagree by revision four. Place an AP and the heatmap redraws. Move a switch and the BoM and quote follow. And where placement is grunt work, Foresight does it for you — set the coverage bar per zone and the planner places the WiFi, then proves it.

Drop in a PDF, an image, or draw the plan on the canvas. Walls snap clean. Doors, windows, wall penetrations and cable pathways are real objects in the design, not shapes drawn on top. Edit a wall and the WiFi coverage, the topology and the BoM all update with it. There’s no export-and-reimport step — nothing is ever in two places to fall out of sync.

equipment

panel · gateways

The full UniFi line, live, behind every drag.

Over 500 UniFi products with mount types, port counts, PoE budgets, antenna patterns and product images — kept in sync with the manufacturer so you never quote a model that's been replaced.

gateways22 models
switches51 models
access points43 models
cameras32 models

Gateway picker open over the floor plan: Cloud Gateways, CloudKeys and Dream Machines with mounts and power

Open Equipment and the panel shows the full UniFi line — 22 gateways, 51 switches, 43 access points, 32 cameras, plus accessories, sensors, cellular and access-control hardware: over 500 products currently shipping. Each product carries its mount types, ports, PoE budget and product image. Drag a UDM Pro onto the floor and the design knows what it can drive; pick a switch and the topology already knows what uplinks it can offer. Pick a model that’s been replaced and we’ll tell you about it.

03auto.plan

auto.plan

plan · 24 changes

Set the coverage bar. Foresight places the WiFi.

Mark what each area needs — offices, warehouse aisles, a courtyard — and the planner picks AP models from the live catalog, places them, assigns channels across bands, and proves the result against the same RF engine that draws the heatmap.

Auto-plan walkthrough at the Scope stage: five-stage rail, the three things it will change, and per-band targets

Auto-plan runs as a five-stage walkthrough. Scope what each zone needs, choose which catalog families are allowed, and the planner does the placing — an operator loop that places, critiques its own result against your targets, and tries again until the coverage clears the bar. Channels come out planned across 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, not left for later. Verify shows the resulting coverage before anything lands, and apply writes real devices into the design — every AP editable, movable, yours. A placement pass that used to be an afternoon of dragging and re-checking becomes a review.

live · under cursor

Coverage drawn against the actual building, not a circle on a map.

WiFi coverage drawn against the actual building — each wall attenuates signal the way it really does, each AP radiates the pattern its real antenna does, and the map redraws under your cursor as you move things.

WiFi coverage heatmap over the office floor plan, shaped by the walls, with the per-band signal legend

Most coverage tools draw a circle around an AP. Foresight draws what the AP actually does — the manufacturer’s antenna pattern for the model you placed, attenuated through every wall the signal has to cross to reach the desk. Drag the AP across a corridor and the map redraws under your cursor; dead zones flag themselves; coverage rolls up per band — so you know the WiFi works before anyone pulls cable.

U7-Pro · 5 GHz on air

Select an AP, and its radios open up.

Every access point carries its real radios — 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz, each with its own channel, width and power — behind the measured antenna pattern for that exact model.

auto-plannever flips radios on air

An access point selected on the floor plan with its RF configuration open: mounting, antenna card, and per-band radio chips

Click an AP and the panel becomes that device: interfaces and connections, ceiling or wall mounting, then the RF — antenna height, downtilt and cable loss, and a radio card per band with an on air switch. The pattern behind the math is the measured one for that model (2.4 omni, 5 omni, 6 beam on a U7-Pro, not a textbook circle), so what the heatmap draws is what that antenna actually does. Set a channel by hand and it’s yours — auto-plan plans around what you’ve pinned, and never decides which radios are on air.

The wires the on-site crew will run, drawn against the design.

Connect a switch to a gateway and the topology draws itself — hierarchy, uplink type, cable, PoE budget, port allocation, all from what you placed.

Topology graph: UDM-Pro into a PoE switch fanning out to APs and cameras, with an unwired camera flagged

Drop a cable between a switch and a gateway and the topology draws itself. Switch hierarchy, uplink type, cable medium, port allocation — all from the equipment you placed. The same picture runs the wiring checks continuously: PoE budget, port capacity, speed mismatch, oversubscription, length-vs-spec. A missing redundant uplink shows up as a single point of failure on the affected branch, and the editor highlights the cable carrying the risk so the fix is one click away. VLANs and addressing live on the same graph — assign a VLAN at the port, see it as a map overlay, and the checks catch duplicate statics and gateways that route nowhere.

Bill of Materials view with categories and live suggestions

The BoM totals itself as you draw — equipment, cabling, accessories, pathway, penetrations — with unit cost and extended totals on every line. Suggestions run every save: keystone jacks for the cable count, patch panels per rack, surface-mount boxes per drop. When you’re ready to send something to the client, turn the BoM into a versioned quote with per-line price or quantity overrides, scoped revisions, and a clean CSV or PDF. Every line traces back to a real device on a real wall.

score · 93 / 100

A pre-flight check on the network you haven't built yet.

Automatic checks across connectivity, redundancy, protocols, wiring, VLANs, addressing and RF — every finding pinned to the device on the floor that's causing it, with a fix in plain English.

Network Health finding opened in its drawer: a camera with no path to the gateway, a plain-English fix, locate-on-floor-plan, and one-click quick fixes

The checks run against the design as you draw — connectivity, redundancy, protocols, wiring, VLANs and addressing, channel conflicts. The score sits in the corner and updates with every move. Every finding gets a severity, a fix in plain English, and a one-click jump to the device on the floor that’s causing it — so the engineer sees the issue in context, not as a row in a table. Acknowledge it, waive it, or fix it — your call, recorded against the design.

Then walk the floor, and let reality weigh in.

Plug the Field Scout probe into a laptop, walk the building, and tap where you stand — every tap records what the air actually contains, on the same plan you designed.

An active survey run: five measured points on the plan, a heard access point placed, and the per-band congestion spectrum — B · FIVE TAPS IN

The predicted WiFi coverage painted across the floor of the 3D building model — C · THE PREDICTION, STANDING UP

Surveys live inside the design, not in a second tool. Start a pre-install or validation run, tap the plan as you walk, and each point lands with what the probe heard — signal, BSSes, per-band detail. Access points heard in the air get placed on the plan; the Environment card shows which channels the neighbors are burning and which are clean. When you’re done, flip between predicted, measured, and the delta between them — the argument about whether the WiFi is actually fine ends with a map.

See it in space, before anyone climbs a ladder.

Walls stand at their real height, cameras throw their real field of view, mounts sit where they will sit on installation day — same design, just standing up.

3D view of the office with walls at real height and camera fields of view sweeping the floor

Walls stand at their real height. Mounts sit at the height they’ll be installed at. Cameras throw the field of view their real lens throws, so a 4 mm dome in a 14 ft warehouse covers exactly what a 4 mm dome in a 14 ft warehouse will cover. It’s the same design as the floor plan, just standing up — so anything you catch in 3D you fix on the floor plan, and the BoM updates with it. It’s one design, not a second tool to keep in sync.

Why we built it

Most tools model a slice. This models the whole job.

A UniFi engagement is a floor plan, a coverage map, a topology, a BoM, a quote and an install sheet that all have to agree. Foresight keeps them in one design — change the floor plan and the coverage, the BoM and the quote move with it.

A network plan lives in too many places.

Visio for the topology. A spreadsheet for the BoM. PDFs for the floor plan. A folder of screenshots for the heatmap. A Word doc for the install checklist. By revision four, none of them agree — and nobody can tell you which one is true.

The install crew inherits the gap.

The engineer who designed the network is almost never the one who pulls the cable. When the plan and the BoM and the rack elevation drift apart, the gap shows up on install day — on the floor, with the customer watching, with a truck of the wrong parts and a cable run that’s six feet shorter than the wall it’s supposed to reach. That re-pull is the most expensive cable in the building.

One design. Everything else follows from it.

Foresight holds the floor plan, the equipment, the WiFi coverage, the topology, the BoM, the client quote and the install checklist as one design. Move a switch and the BoM and quote update. Edit a wall and the coverage redraws. When the design is final, the install checklist comes straight out of it. There’s nothing to reconcile, because nothing was ever separate.
