Built for integrators who need answers — not waiting time

As a system integrator, reseller, or partner deploying Wirepas/EverTag solutions, you need fast, accurate answers during customer meetings, in proposal work, and when troubleshooting on-site. CargoBeacon Online Tools deliver exactly that — three purpose-built web tools that eliminate support dependency and shorten sales cycles from days to minutes.

All tools are completely free, require no login, and work directly in the browser. They are available 24/7 to support CargoBeacon's global partner network — regardless of time zone.

MQTT Console

Browser-based MQTT client — no installation needed

A full-featured MQTT client that runs directly in your browser. Connect to any MQTT broker (including TLS-encrypted), subscribe to topics with wildcards, publish messages, and inspect payloads in real-time. Perfect for verifying that gateways are delivering data correctly during installation.

Connect to any MQTT broker (TLS supported)
Subscribe/publish with topic filters
Message history and payload inspection
No download — works in any browser

Integrator Value

Debug live network data, verify gateway connections, and monitor tag messages in real-time during deployment — without needing to install desktop tools like MQTT Explorer or mosquitto_sub. Open the tool on your phone or laptop right at the installation site.

Open MQTT Console

Battery Life Calculator

Calculate expected battery life for any EverTag configuration

Enter transmission interval, payload size, temperature range, and network density — and get estimated years of operation with confidence intervals. The tool uses the same energy models as CargoBeacon's internal dimensioning, based on real measurement data from thousands of deployed EverTags.

Inputs

  • Transmission interval (seconds/minutes)
  • Payload size and type
  • Temperature range (min/max)
  • Network density (node count)

Output

  • Expected lifetime in years
  • Confidence intervals (best/worst case)
  • Energy consumption per cycle
  • Recommended maintenance schedule

Integrator Value

Answer customer questions instantly like "How long will the battery last in my cold storage?" without needing to contact CargoBeacon. Dimension projects accurately and avoid over- or under-specifying — saving both time and cost. Use the calculations in proposals to demonstrate professional competence.

Open Battery Calculator

Mesh Network Calculator

Plan Wirepas Mesh network coverage for a given area

Enter floor area, ceiling height, material types (concrete, metal, open hall), and required accuracy — and get a recommendation on anchor count, placement pattern, gateway requirements, and estimated cost. Results can be used directly in proposal documents and installation planning.

Inputs

  • Floor area (m²)
  • Ceiling height and environment type
  • Material types (concrete, metal, open)
  • Required positioning accuracy

Output

  • Recommended anchor count
  • Placement pattern and spacing
  • Gateway requirements and placement
  • Estimated material cost

Integrator Value

Create accurate proposals without site visits. Dimension infrastructure before quoting — and avoid costly over-provisioning. Show the customer a professional document with calculated values instead of estimates, right during the first meeting.

Why partners use these tools

Faster sales cycles

Reduce pre-sales engineering from hours to minutes. Answer technical questions directly in the customer meeting instead of following up later.

Professional proposals

Create proposals based on calculated data — not guesses. Show the customer exact figures for battery life, anchor count, and costs.

No support dependency

Perform basic dimensioning and troubleshooting completely independently. Contact CargoBeacon only for complex or atypical scenarios.

Available 24/7 globally

Tools work across all time zones — perfect for CargoBeacon's international partner network. No waiting for office hours in Sweden.

Faster project turnaround

Go from customer inquiry to finished proposal in a day instead of a week. Self-service dimensioning eliminates bottlenecks.

Troubleshooting without expert help

Diagnose connection issues in the field with MQTT Console directly. Confirm that tags are transmitting and gateways are delivering data — without escalating.

Typical integrator workflow

1

Customer meeting

Customer describes their area and requirements. Open Mesh Calculator and enter parameters directly during the meeting. Show the recommendation on screen.

2

The battery question

"How often do we need to replace batteries?" — Open Battery Calculator, set the customer's specific parameters, and show calculated lifetime. No guessing.

3

Installation & verification

During deployment — open MQTT Console on your phone, connect to the broker, and verify that each gateway is delivering data correctly in real-time.
