Geo-Positioned Analysis

The Geo-Positioned Analysis view renders network data spatially on an interactive map. Instead of traditional charts, this dashboard uses hexagonal cells and point markers to show where activity and signal quality patterns are concentrated geographically. Use it to identify coverage gaps, interference hotspots, and areas where device onboarding clusters.

Geo-Positioned Analysis map with data layers

Key areas#

Map canvas — the main area displaying hexagonal grid cells, gateway markers, and device point markers overlaid on a geographic map.
Data Layers panel — a sidebar panel on the left that controls which layers are visible on the map.
Map legend — located in the bottom-right corner, showing Active Gateways (blue dots), a packet count gradient, and Noisy External Devices (green dots).

Data layers#

The Data Layers panel provides two groups of toggleable layers:

Value ranges#

Select one layer at a time using radio buttons:

Layer	What it shows
Traffic Density	Hexagonal cells colored by packet count, revealing where traffic concentrates
Average SF	Average spreading factor per cell, highlighting areas where devices use higher SF values (indicating weaker coverage)
Signal Quality	Aggregated signal quality per cell, helping you spot regions with degraded reception
Join Requests Traffic	Join request density per cell, useful for locating areas with frequent device onboarding or rejoin storms

Points#

Toggle multiple point layers simultaneously using checkboxes:

Layer	What it shows
Noisy External Devices	Locations of external devices whose traffic is picked up by your gateways, indicating potential interference sources
Devices with edge RSSI	Devices operating near the RSSI reception threshold, flagging candidates for coverage improvement

Each layer has a settings gear icon for additional configuration options.

How to use this view#

Open Geo-Positioned Analysis from the sidebar under Investigation Views.
Set the time window and traffic source filter to match the period and data scope you want to investigate.
Start with Traffic Density selected in the Value Ranges group to get a high-level picture of where your network is active.
Switch to Average SF or Signal Quality to correlate high-traffic areas with RF performance.
Enable the Noisy External Devices point layer to overlay interference sources on the same map.
Enable Devices with edge RSSI to identify devices that may benefit from a closer gateway or antenna adjustment.
Use the map legend to interpret color gradients and marker types.

Understanding the data#

Layer	Visualization	Interpretation
Traffic Density	Hexagonal cells, color gradient	Darker cells indicate higher packet volume. Look for unexpected cold spots that may signal coverage gaps.
Average SF	Hexagonal cells, color gradient	Higher average SF values suggest devices are compensating for weaker signal with longer airtime.
Signal Quality	Hexagonal cells, color gradient	Low-quality cells may indicate interference, obstructions, or insufficient gateway density.
Join Requests Traffic	Hexagonal cells, color gradient	Clusters of join requests can reveal areas with unstable connectivity causing frequent rejoins.
Noisy External Devices	Green point markers	External devices picked up by your gateways. High density may contribute to duty cycle pressure and interference.
Devices with edge RSSI	Point markers	Devices near the reception limit. Prioritize these locations when planning coverage improvements.
