Network Map
The Network Map is the geographic view of your selected network. It shows devices, gateways, RF-quality cells, and gateway-specific signal patterns on an interactive map so you can understand where network activity is healthy, stale, weak, or blocked.
Key areas#
- Interactive map canvas — a zoomable map displaying device points, gateway points, and hexagonal RF-quality regions over geographic data.
- Devices Overview card — a donut chart summarizing device activity by color-coded status.
- RF-quality legend — a scale in the bottom-left corner explaining the hexagonal cell colors by average RSSI (dBm) range.
- Layer button — opens the layer panel on the right side of the map for fine-grained control over visible data.
How to use this view#
Read device status#
The Devices Overview card breaks down devices into five categories:
| Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Activity within 24h | Devices that sent traffic in the last 24 hours |
| Yellow | Activity within 7 days | Devices active in the last seven days |
| Red | No activity last week | Devices with no observed traffic for more than seven days |
| Purple | External (Noise) | Devices outside your known network |
| Gray | Disabled | Devices explicitly disabled |
Inspect RF quality#
Hexagonal cells behind the device and gateway markers represent aggregated signal quality in each region. The RF-quality legend maps cell colors to average RSSI values. More yellow cells indicate better signal quality within the displayed range.
Hover over a hexagon to see the local device count and signal-quality value for that area.
Control map layers#
Click the layer button to open the layer panel. You can independently toggle:
- Signal strength resolution — switch hexagon granularity between Resolution 7, 8, 9, and 10.
- Device layers — show or hide devices by status category (active, recent, inactive, external).
- Gateway layers — show or hide gateways by status (active, idling, inactive).
Inspect gateway radiation patterns#
Hover over a gateway marker to open a card showing its live status and an Estimated Radiation Pattern chart.
Understanding the data#
The RF-quality overlay is a spatial summary, not a device inventory list. Hexagons aggregate observed signal quality in each region, while device and gateway markers identify concrete network objects.
The gateway Estimated Radiation Pattern is synthetic. It is reconstructed from observed devices and the way signals are received by the gateway. Treat it as an operational estimate of the gateway’s surrounding RF environment, not as the antenna’s laboratory radiation pattern. A directional dip can indicate that nearby walls, buildings, placement, or other obstructions are affecting reception from that direction.
