Icon Map turns routine operational and customer data inside Power BI or Microsoft Fabric into location-aware insight, driving safer networks, happier customers, and stronger returns.
Leverage real-time geospatial visualization to streamline network operations, enhance asset resilience, and proactively manage field activities. Spatial analytics across historical and live data improve service uptime, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Visualize live incident density to dispatch crews promptly, cut downtime, and improve customer updates.
Monitor network flow, pressure, or bandwidth in context, preventing overloads and balancing demand dynamically.
Identify assets with rising failure risk, schedule works ahead of time and reduce emergency call-outs.
Map crew locations, optimize travel, and track task progress for faster restoration and lower costs.
Reveal aging pipes, cables, or masts spatially, prioritizing renewal investment where risk is highest.
Track consumption, leakage, and carbon intensity across estates, supporting net-zero and ESG targets.
Icon Map for Microsoft Fabric includes a native telecoms coverage layer: point it at a cells table in your Lakehouse - one row per cell, with azimuth, beamwidth, tilt, and band - and your whole radio network renders as live, interactive coverage. No GIS exports, no coverage-prediction round trips, no copying data out of Fabric. Because the wedges are driven by the same tables as the rest of your report, the map always shows the network as your OSS knows it today, colored by the KPIs your engineers already track.
Bind columns for azimuth, beamwidth, vertical beamwidth, mechanical and electrical tilt, antenna height, range, frequency, and band. Anything missing degrades gracefully - no azimuth renders omni, no range falls back to a fixed or estimated radius.
Color wedges by PRB utilization, drop rate, throughput, or any measure with single colors, gradients, class breaks, or conditional rules - the same color engine as every other Icon Map layer.
No range column? An indicative COST231-Hata link budget computes each cell's reach from frequency, transmit power, and antenna height, with clutter class, target signal level, and margins exposed as plain-language controls.
Click a wedge and the rest of the network dims. Selection granularity is yours - cell, sector, site, or band - and the selection flows into the standard cross-filter pipeline, so KPI trend charts, tables, and slicers all follow. Lasso and radius tools select whole areas.
A sector carrying 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz, and 3.5 GHz can draw each band at its true reach, or stack them as concentric rings so band build-out is readable across the whole network.
Cells, KPIs, and measurements are ordinary Lakehouse tables governed by your workspace roles. All rendering and RF computation happens client-side in the browser - network topology never leaves your tenant.
Tilt the map and sectors rise into translucent 3D coverage lobes built from the real antenna parameters - apex at antenna height, boresight following mechanical plus electrical tilt, spread by horizontal and vertical beamwidth. A glass style for presentations, a blueprint wireframe style for engineering reviews, and 3D masts with one panel per sector azimuth. The volumes are rendered with a custom globe-aware pipeline, so they are correct on flat projections and the 3D globe alike.
Enable coverage occlusion and the lobes and footprints are clipped against line of sight, computed on the GPU from the map's terrain elevation model and the basemap's own 3D buildings. Streets shadowed by a tower block fall out of the footprint exactly where they would in reality. It is honest about physics too: below 1 GHz, where diffraction fills in behind obstacles, clipping is off by default and clearly labeled indicative.
The layer is built to answer operational questions, not just draw the network. Bind a handover-relations table and selecting a cell draws its neighbor arcs - width by attempts, color by success rate - so a failing adjacency stands out instantly. Land drive-test or crowdsourced measurements in a table and hexbin them over the wedges with the standard grid layer; link them by serving cell and weak coverage and the cells serving it select each other across the report.
Getting the cells table is not a project. A ready-made Fabric notebook ships with Icon Map that parses vendor configuration exports - Ericsson ENM Bulk CM XML, Nokia NetAct RAML, Huawei U2020 exports, and plain CSV dumps - into a ready-to-map cells table in your Lakehouse, deriving bands and frequencies from channel numbers and normalizing vendor units along the way. Performance KPIs land beside it through your existing pipelines, and public data like OpenCelliD can stand in as a demo network for any country.
