Our Products / AirQo Beacon
Keep your air quality monitoring network visible, reliable, and easier to manage.
AirQo Beacon helps air quality network management teams see what is happening across their air quality monitoring network in one place. From device status and uptime to collocation performance and site-level issues, AirQo Beacon makes it easier to spot problems early and ensure data reliability.
Turn network health into a daily operating signal
As air quality monitoring networks grow across African cities, sensor issues can quickly become data gaps. A monitor may go offline, a site may stop reporting, or a sensor may begin to perform differently from a reference monitor.
AirQo Beacon gives operations, engineering, and data quality teams the visibility they need to understand which devices are working, which sites need attention, and where network performance is changing over time.
Operational visibility
Know what is working, what is offline, and what needs attention
AirQo Beacon brings device status, deployment information, uptime, online and offline tracking, location details, and site performance into one air quality monitoring dashboard.
This helps teams move from reactive troubleshooting to more planned network management, with clearer information on where to act, what to prioritize, and how to keep the network reliable over time.
What you get with AirQo Beacon
AirQo Beacon is designed for the everyday work of managing air quality monitoring networks. It helps teams track device health, review site performance, support collocation management, and understand whether the network is reliable enough to support research, public communication, and decision-making.
Device health dashboard
See the status of devices across your network, including deployed devices, tracked devices, online devices, offline devices, and devices that may need follow-up.
Site and network visibility
Understand where devices are located, which sites are active, and where performance issues are happening across cities and monitoring sites.
Online and offline tracking
Quickly identify devices that have gone offline, stopped reporting, or may be affecting data availability across the network.
Collocation site review
Review how low-cost air quality sensors are performing alongside reference monitors, including site uptime, error margin, correlation, and reference monitor status.
Performance analysis
Compare performance across devices to see where the network is stable and where recurring issues may need attention.
Reports and exports
Use downloadable reports and performance summaries to support planning, maintenance, internal reviews, and long-term network management.
Quality and collocation
Protect data quality before problems spread across the network
Reliable air quality data depends on more than deploying devices. Teams also need to know whether devices are performing as expected, whether reference monitors are reporting, and whether low-cost sensors remain aligned with reference grade monitors.
AirQo Beacon supports collocation management by helping teams compare low-cost sensors with reference monitors at site level. This makes it easier to identify performance concerns early, support calibration workflows, and maintain confidence in the air quality data produced by the network.
AirQo Beacon
Keep your network healthy, visible, and easier to manage at scale
Open AirQo Beacon to review device health, track site performance, inspect collocation workflows, and maintain stronger operational control across your air quality monitoring network.
