Why Your WISP Needs Real Monitoring

Let's talk about something every WISP owner loses sleep over - knowing if your network is actually healthy. Remember the days of finding out about problems from angry customer calls? None of us want to go back there. The thing is, just checking if a tower is online isn't enough anymore. You need to know if that solar installation is actually charging properly during the day, if your batteries are going to last the night, and if that CPU spike means trouble is coming. Real monitoring means catching issues while they're small - like spotting a tower that's running a bit too hot, or noticing that your backup batteries aren't holding charge like they used to. We've seen it countless times - WISPs that wait for problems end up spending way more money and time fixing them. Plus, there's nothing worse than getting those 2 AM customer complaints that could have been avoided. Good monitoring isn't just about fancy graphs (though they're nice to have). It's about sleeping better at night knowing you'll catch problems before your customers do.
