Adding your new Network

In Kudzu Analytics, users can add new networks to monitor and analyze their LoRaWAN deployments. However, adding a network is subject to the user’s billing plan. If your plan does not allow adding networks, this option will be unavailable. Contact support or check your account settings to upgrade your plan if needed.

  • Editing Networks: Once created, you can edit the network details by clicking the pencil icon next to the network name.
  • Deleting Networks: Networks can be deleted using the trash icon, but this action is irreversible.

By adding networks, users can organize and monitor multiple LoRaWAN deployments efficiently, ensuring seamless data analysis and network management.
