LoRaWAN coverage planning & verification

Plan, predict and prove LoRaWAN coverage

Import your plan set, let LoRaMapper predict coverage from walls and ceilings, measure with your team and compare reality against the plan — floor by floor, in 2D and 3D, indoors and outdoors.

No installation — runs in your browser. Invoice billing for CH/EU.

3D coverage model of a three-storey office building in LoRaMapper

From plan to proof in four steps

One continuous workflow — every step builds on the previous one.

1 Model the building

Drop the whole plan set — PDFs or photos. LoRaMapper assigns each page to its floor and sets crop, scale and alignment. The editor detects the outline; you add inner walls, rooms and materials in minutes.

Model the building

2 Predict coverage

Place fixed and planned gateways. The prediction accounts for antenna, distance, wall materials and ceilings — so you see weak spots and the number of gateways needed before anyone is on site.

Predict coverage

3 Measure on site

Organise measurement rounds with mobile or installed gateways. Several people measure at the same time; every uplink records RSSI, SNR and SF for each receiving gateway — live from your network server.

Measure on site

4 Prove and optimise

Compare measured against planned coverage: red marks where reality is worse, blue where it is better. Test extension gateways virtually — and the model learns wall and ceiling attenuation from your measurements.

Prove and optimise

Close gaps before anyone drills a hole

The measurement shows weak rooms at the east end. One extension gateway in the corridor — and the predicted coverage closes the gap.

Everything from the first plan to the final proof

Indoors and outdoors, for a single building or a whole portfolio.

AI plan import

Drop the whole plan set — pages are assigned to floors automatically.

Floor plan editor

Outer and inner walls, rooms and materials — outline detected automatically.

Predicted coverage

See coverage before measuring — from walls, ceilings and antennas.

Extension gateways (what-if)

Add a virtual gateway and watch the gap close instantly.

Measurement rounds

Rounds with mobile gateways — several people measuring live.

Heatmaps: measured, planned, deviation

Switch between reality, prediction and their difference.

3D building model

All floors stacked — pull them apart, check each gateway’s reach.

Outdoor with terrain & buildings

Coverage on a real map — terrain and building data included.

Roles & lending

Organisations, roles and a dedicated measurement-helper role.

Two kinds of sites: buildings and outdoor

Model indoor coverage on floor plans, or outdoor coverage on a real map — whatever your project needs.

Building (floor plan)

Building (floor plan)

Import floor plans of one or more storeys, draw walls, place gateways and walk each floor. Ideal for offices, schools, warehouses, parking garages, hospitals and industrial sites.

Outdoor (map)

Outdoor (map)

Work on a real map with GPS measurements, terrain and building data — for campuses, districts, agriculture or city-wide coverage.

Made for beginners and RF professionals alike

Simple for beginners

A guided workflow: import a plan, place gateways, walk your site. Colours tell you instantly where coverage is good or weak — no RF knowledge needed.

Powerful for professionals

Wall and ceiling attenuation per material, a self-calibrating prediction model, RSSI/SNR/SF per gateway and sample, a spreading-factor-aware quality index, deviation analysis and live network-server ingest.

What you need to get started

Three things — that’s it. LoRaMapper ties them together.

A LoRaWAN measuring device

A field tester or a simple LoRaWAN button that sends uplinks as you walk. Its RSSI/SNR at each point, as received by every gateway, is what LoRaMapper maps.

At least one gateway

One or more LoRaWAN gateways — either a portable test gateway you carry, or the fixed gateways you already have on site.

A network server (LNS)

A LoRaWAN Network Server that forwards uplinks to LoRaMapper via webhook — e.g. TTN, ChirpStack, Loriot or Actility. Minimal setup: one HTTP integration.

Field tester, gateway and network server working together

Mobile or existing gateways — both work

Test with a portable gateway, or measure against the gateways already installed.

Mobile gateway

Carry a portable, battery-powered gateway to the spot you want to cover and measure right there — perfect for planning a new deployment before any hardware is mounted.

Existing (static) gateways

Already have gateways installed? Walk the site with just a field tester and measure real coverage against your live gateways — LoRaMapper records which gateway received each point.
