How it works
Built for normal offices, not networking projects.
Plug it in, activate it, and add the capture source that matches how your team already uses AI.
Plug it in.
Beacon is the office device for company AI. It gives your business one local place to check AI requests before money or sensitive work leaves your network.
Sign in to SignalCost.
Beacon opens an isolated SignalCost setup page. Sign in once, then select one paid, unassigned Beacon from your Company account or use its one-time enrollment key.
Choose what to protect.
Start local Beacon capture, then add the native browser installer or a managed endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OpenTelemetry source that matches the traffic your team already uses.

FAQ
Reservation questions.
What does the $100 reserve payment do?
It holds your place in the Beacon reservation queue. The remaining balance is collected before shipment after we confirm fulfillment details.
Is Beacon a replacement for SignalCost Cloud?
No. Beacon is the office device. SignalCost Cloud manages your account, policies, subscription, reports, updates, and fleet view.
Does Beacon send raw prompts to SignalCost?
By default, no. Beacon can review the request locally and send SignalCost only the business decision record. Full prompt sharing is an opt-in setting.
How do employees use it?
Admins start with local Beacon capture, then add browser, endpoint, SDK, MCP, or OpenTelemetry sources as coverage needs grow.
Can I reserve more than one Beacon?
Yes. Choose the number of offices or locations you want to protect. Each paid unit is bound to your signed-in Company account and receives its own one-time enrollment option.
What happens after I reserve?
We confirm your shipping details, support contact, and payment balance before shipment. When the unit arrives, open Beacon and use secure SignalCost sign-in or the one-time key from your Company Beacons page.
