Do I have to draw my whole network by hand?

No. If you use LibreNMS, the import puts its devices on the map location by location with a preview before anything is written. You can still add and move everything by hand afterwards.

ISP mapping is documenting an internet service provider network as a geographic map - towers, cabinets, OLTs, splitters, ONTs and the fiber, coax and wireless links between them - instead of in spreadsheets. ISPbox does ISP mapping on an interactive Mapbox view so planning, troubleshooting and field handoffs all happen with full topology context.

What map technology does ISPbox use?

The network map is built on Mapbox GL, with every feature stored as GeoJSON. You can switch between street and satellite styles and geocode addresses directly on the map.

Can I map both fiber and wireless networks?

Yes. ISPbox supports wireless features such as towers, sectors and point to point links, fiber features like OLTs, splitters, splice closures, ONT/CPE and PON routes, plus coax and copper, so mixed networks live on one map.

Does it help with fiber planning?

Yes. You can link an OLT through splitters to ONTs and preview the optical power budget and margin along each PON path, which helps validate a design before installation.

Can I export the map?

Yes. You can export your features to KML or KMZ, filtered by type or status, to share with field teams or import into other mapping tools.

Real screens from the product - the same views your team works in every day.

Your whole plant on one map

Towers, sectors, links and coverage zones live in a GIS editor. Draw the network once and every incident, client and service hangs off real topology.

Outages resolved from topology

When a tower goes down, ISPbox walks the map to find affected services, opens one root-cause incident and lets you message every affected client.

What you can map and how it works

ISP mapping should produce a living map, not a stale spreadsheet. ISPbox network maps run on an interactive Mapbox view where every tower, cabinet, OLT, splitter, ONT and cable is a real geographic feature you can place, move and link, so planning and troubleshooting happen with full topology context.

Place real network features, not just pins

Drop base stations, routers, access points, wireless sectors, OLTs, splitters, splice closures, cabinets, ONTs and CPE onto the map, then draw the fiber, PON, coax, copper and wireless links between them. Each feature is stored as GeoJSON with engineering properties like frequency, azimuth, beamwidth, height and optical budget, so the map mirrors how the network is actually built.

Model fiber topology with PON path budget

Link an OLT through splitters down to each ONT and ISPbox traces the fiber path and previews the optical loss and margin along it. Device profiles carry sensible defaults such as splitter ratios and PON port counts, so new sites are quick to lay out and easy to validate before crews go out.

Filter, search and export

Load features by status, type, search term or map area, switch between street and satellite styles, and geocode addresses directly on the map. Planned, live and deprecated states let you map upgrades before you build them, and you can export topology to KML or KMZ for field teams or other tools.

Import your network from LibreNMS

If your devices already live in LibreNMS, the import workspace puts them on the map location by location from the panel's own copy of the inventory. The preview counts only what would really be written, links that are already drawn are skipped, and customers can be attached to their access points in a separate step.

Towers, sectors and backhauls drawn on the map feed the rest of ISPbox: incidents find everyone downstream of a failed device, the sector finder uses real terrain data for line of sight, and path monitoring reads its targets from the same map.
