Indoors and outdoors, for a single building or a whole portfolio.
Upload one multi-page PDF, several PDFs or photos. LoRaMapper reads every page, assigns it to its floor and sets crop, scale and alignment. Plans of several building parts can be combined into one floor and cropped to the relevant area.
Trace outer and inner walls, rooms and fixed reference points on top of the plan. Each wall gets a material — concrete, brick, drywall, glass, wood — with its typical attenuation, which feeds straight into the prediction and the 3D model.
Place fixed gateways, temporary measurement gateways and extension gateways on any floor, with mounting height and antenna. Each type is shown distinctly, so the plan always tells what is installed, what was used for testing and what is proposed.
Organise an entire building — from the basement levels to the roof: add floors, keep each plan aligned to the others, and switch between them instantly.
LoRaMapper computes the expected quality index for every spot from all gateways — position, antenna, distance, wall materials and the ceilings between floors. Plan the number and position of gateways before anyone goes on site.
Measured a gap? Place an extension gateway where it can be mounted and the heatmap combines your real measurements with its predicted contribution — the basis for a well-founded recommendation without a second site visit.
Every measurement improves the model: LoRaMapper learns the real attenuation of ceilings and walls in your building and, outdoors, the effect of surrounding buildings — so predictions get closer to reality with each round.
Group measurements into rounds — e.g. an initial survey and a follow-up — and assign the mobile gateways used in each. Several people can measure at the same time on different floors; points fill in live as uplinks arrive, and nearby duplicate points can be merged.
A single uplink is often heard by several gateways. LoRaMapper captures all receivers (RSSI/SNR each) per point, so you see coverage and redundancy from every gateway at once.
Every sample gets a spreading-factor-aware quality index (0–100) from RSSI, SNR and SF — a single, comparable number that drives the heatmap colours.
Connect your LoRaWAN network server so real device uplinks flow into the right building and point automatically.
Register field testers or simple LoRaWAN buttons, see which site and point each one is currently assigned to, and reuse them across rounds and sites.
Every floor as a 2D heatmap in three views: measured (interpolated from real points), planned (predicted) and deviation, which highlights where reality is worse or better than planned. Filter by gateway and adjust radius and opacity.
See the whole building in 3D with walls, gateways and measurement points. Pull floors apart, switch between measured, planned and deviation layers, show walls solid or as glass, and select a gateway to see which points and floors it reaches.
Outdoor sites use a real map with GPS measurements. The coverage prediction includes terrain elevation and buildings with their heights from open map data worldwide (swisstopo in Switzerland) and calibrates itself from your drive and walk tests. Results are shown per spreading factor.
Work as a team across organisations: give your staff full access and add measurement helpers who can only measure. Gateways and devices can be lent to other organisations and returned after the job.
LoRaMapper tracks when each gateway last received an uplink and shows its online status. A watchdog flags gateways that stop reporting, so no measurement round is wasted on a gateway without connection.
Send colleagues straight to the 3D model, a floor’s heatmap or a measurement round — every view in LoRaMapper has its own link. The app speaks English, German, French and Italian.
