Telemaster is an app that displays all the telecommunication masts/antennas in Denmark.

See it in action here https://telemaster.dk.

Data Explanation

All the data is based on the information from https://mastedatabasen.dk. The data from the source only indicates the access technologies in a broad manner, i.e. GSM, UMTS, LTE, and 5G-NR. This doesn't make a lot of sense. It is actually more confusing and uninformative compared to all the existing access technologies. Here's an overview:

Therefore the network generations are used instead, although with the caveat that 4G represents LTE and not ITU's definition of 4G.

Development

The app is built as a dumb CRUD app (actually without the 'UD'):

Installation

In each level one subfolder run:

yarn # or npm install

API and Database

To run it using Docker simply do docker-compose up in the root of the repo.

Database worker

To populate the database:

1. First run mastscraper somewhere
2. Edit MASTS_DIR in database-worker/.env.development to point it to where the output from step 1 is
3. Then run yarn start

Web app

As the web app is using Mapbox you need to provide an API key for that, so the steps to get it running is:

1. Run export REACT_APP_MAPBOX_TOKEN={your API key goes here}
2. yarn start
