Why Telco Network Metrics Need Purpose-Built Dashboards
Telecommunications networks generate enormous volumes of data. Every call, message, data session, and network event produces signals—millions per second across a modern carrier’s infrastructure. Yet most telco operators still rely on vendor-locked dashboards, per-seat BI tools, or scattered spreadsheets to understand what’s happening on their network.
The cost is real. When you can’t see network performance in real time, you miss revenue leakage from dropped calls, you don’t catch congestion until customers call to complain, and you can’t optimise capacity spend because you don’t know where to invest.
Apache Superset solves this. It’s a modern, open-source analytics and business intelligence platform that lets you build, deploy, and iterate on dashboards without vendor lock-in or per-seat licensing. More importantly, Superset is built for scale. It can handle the throughput and cardinality that telco data demands—millions of events, hundreds of dimensions, and sub-second query response times when your schema is right.
This guide gives you the blueprint: the data model, the metrics, the dashboard patterns, and the schema strategies that telco teams at scale use to go from raw network data to actionable intelligence.
The Core Data Model for Telco Network Visibility
Understanding Telco Data Sources
Telco networks produce data across multiple layers: radio access network (RAN) events, core network signalling, backhaul and transport metrics, customer experience measurements, and billing events. Each source has different characteristics—different cardinality, different latency, different granularity.
A production telco dashboard integrates these sources into a unified data model. That model needs to support both real-time operational views (“Is the network healthy right now?”) and historical analysis (“Where did we lose capacity last quarter?”).
The foundation is an event-level fact table. Each row represents a network event: a call attempt, a data session start, a bearer establishment, a handover, a radio link failure. The fact table contains:
- Timestamp (event time, ingestion time, and processing time for latency tracking)
- Event type (call attempt, call completion, session start, handover, etc.)
- Source and destination (cell site IDs, customer segments, geographic regions)
- Quality metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss, signal strength)
- Resource usage (bandwidth allocated, radio resource blocks consumed, backhaul capacity used)
- Customer and service identifiers (IMSI, MSISDN, service tier, contract type)
- Outcome flags (success/failure, drop reason, blocked reason)
This fact table is the spine. Everything else—dashboards, alerts, forecasts—hangs off it.
Dimensional Tables for Telco Context
Dimensions give your facts meaning. A telco data model typically includes:
Cell Site Dimension: Site ID, site name, region, market, technology (2G/3G/4G/5G), vendor, capacity class, backhaul type, and geographic coordinates. This lets you pivot by geography, technology mix, and vendor.
Customer Dimension: IMSI (international mobile subscriber identity), customer segment (prepaid/postpaid/enterprise), contract type, revenue tier, churn risk flag, and acquisition date. This lets you understand behaviour by customer quality.
Service Dimension: Service type (voice, SMS, data), QoS class, APN (access point name), roaming status, and content type. This lets you isolate issues to specific services.
Time Dimension: Date, hour, day of week, is_weekend, is_holiday, and business_hours flags. Time dimensions dramatically speed up dashboard queries and make period-over-period analysis trivial.
Failure Reason Dimension: Standardised failure codes, human-readable descriptions, failure category (radio, core, backhaul, customer), and severity. This turns raw error codes into operational intelligence.
When you join these dimensions to your fact table, you get a star schema. That schema is the engine of your dashboards.
Aggregated Tables for Speed
Raw event data is too slow for interactive dashboards. A telco network produces billions of events per day. Querying a billion-row table for every dashboard load is not practical, even with a fast database.
The solution is pre-aggregated tables. You build several layers:
Hourly aggregates: Event counts, success rates, average latency, 95th percentile latency, dropped calls, and blocked calls, grouped by cell site, customer segment, service type, and failure reason. Hourly aggregates are small enough to query in milliseconds and fine-grained enough for operational dashboards.
Daily aggregates: The same metrics rolled up by day. These power trend analysis and capacity planning.
Monthly aggregates: For long-term trend spotting and SLA reporting.
You build these aggregates in your data warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, or ClickHouse) using scheduled jobs. Superset then queries the aggregates, not the raw events. The result is sub-second dashboard response times even on massive datasets.
Key Metrics Every Telco Operations Team Needs
Network Health Metrics
Call Success Rate: The percentage of call attempts that complete successfully. This is the single most important metric for voice networks. A 1% drop in call success rate on a major carrier means millions of dollars in lost revenue and customer churn. You track this by cell site, by time of day, by customer segment, and by failure reason. When it drops, you need to know immediately.
Handover Success Rate: The percentage of handovers (cell-to-cell transitions) that complete without dropping the call. Poor handover performance signals radio planning issues, timing problems, or backhaul congestion. You need this by technology (2G/3G/4G/5G), by cell pair, and by time of day.
Packet Loss and Latency: For data networks, packet loss below 1% is acceptable; above 2%, customers notice. Latency below 50 ms is excellent; above 100 ms, voice quality degrades. You track these by APN, by backhaul segment, and by time of day. Superset lets you build heatmaps showing latency across the network in real time.
Radio Resource Utilisation: The percentage of available radio resource blocks in use. When utilisation exceeds 80%, you’re approaching congestion. When it exceeds 90%, calls start dropping. You track this by cell site, by technology, and by time of day. This metric directly drives capacity investment decisions.
Revenue and Customer Metrics
Session Completion Rate: For data sessions, the percentage that complete without interruption. Incomplete sessions mean poor customer experience and lost data revenue.
Average Revenue Per User (ARPU): Total revenue divided by active users. You track this by customer segment, by geography, and by technology. When ARPU drops, you’ve got a problem—either churn, or cannibalization to lower-tier services.
Churn Indicators: Call drop rate, session failure rate, and roaming failures are all early signals of churn. Customers who experience poor network quality switch carriers. You need to spot these signals before they become churn.
Customer Segment Performance: Different customer segments have different expectations. Enterprise customers demand 99.99% availability. Prepaid customers are price-sensitive and tolerate lower quality. You track metrics separately by segment so you can prioritise investment.
Operational Efficiency Metrics
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): How long between fault detection and service restoration. A 30-minute MTTR is industry standard; 15 minutes is excellent. You track MTTR by failure type and by team to drive operational improvement.
Backhaul Utilisation: The percentage of backhaul capacity in use. Backhaul is expensive; you want to run it hot (70–85% utilisation) but not congested (>90%). You track this by backhaul segment and by time of day.
Cell Site Energy Consumption: Power costs are 20–30% of telco opex. You track energy per cell site, per technology, and per unit of traffic. This drives power optimisation initiatives.
Vendor and Technology Performance: You compare call success rates, latency, and handover performance across vendors and across technology generations (2G vs. 3G vs. 4G vs. 5G). This informs vendor negotiations and technology roadmap decisions.
Building Your Reference Dashboard Set in Superset
Setting Up Superset for Telco Data
Superset is database-agnostic. You can connect it to Postgres, MySQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, or any SQL database. For telco data at scale, we recommend ClickHouse or Snowflake because they’re built for high-cardinality, high-throughput analytics.
Start by installing Superset. The official Welcome to Apache Superset documentation covers deployment on Docker, Kubernetes, or your own infrastructure. For a production telco dashboard, deploy Superset on Kubernetes with Redis for caching and a managed database backend.
Connect Superset to your data warehouse:
- Go to Settings > Database Connections.
- Add a new database connection to your telco data warehouse.
- Test the connection. Verify that Superset can query your hourly and daily aggregate tables.
- Enable query caching. This is critical for telco dashboards—many users query the same metrics, and caching saves database load.
Once connected, Superset auto-discovers your tables and columns. Create datasets (Superset’s term for queryable tables) for each of your aggregate tables. For each dataset, define the columns, set data types, and mark which columns are dimensions (for grouping) and which are metrics (for aggregation).
The Network Operations Dashboard
This is your real-time operations view. It shows network health right now, with drilldown to problem areas.
Top section: Large cards showing current call success rate, handover success rate, average latency, and packet loss. These are your KPIs. Each card is a simple metric query: SELECT success_rate FROM hourly_metrics WHERE event_hour = CURRENT_HOUR(). When these numbers are green, the network is healthy. When they’re red, your ops team is on the phone.
Second section: A time-series chart showing call success rate over the last 7 days, broken down by technology (2G/3G/4G/5G). This shows trends. A declining trend means something is degrading—you need to investigate.
Third section: A map showing call success rate by cell site. Superset supports geospatial visualisations. You plot each cell site’s success rate on a map using geographic coordinates from your cell site dimension. Red cells are failing; green cells are healthy. This gives ops teams a visual way to spot problem areas.
Fourth section: A table showing the top 10 failing cell sites by call drop count. This is actionable—it tells ops teams exactly where to send a technician.
Fifth section: A breakdown of call failures by reason (radio failure, core network failure, backhaul failure, etc.). This tells you what type of problem you have—radio, transport, or core.
This dashboard updates every 5 minutes. It’s the first thing an ops team sees when they sit down.
The Capacity Planning Dashboard
This dashboard shows resource utilisation trends, helping you forecast when you’ll run out of capacity and where to invest.
Top section: Current radio resource utilisation by cell site, ranked. You see which sites are hottest.
Second section: Radio utilisation trends over the last 3 months by technology. A rising trend means you need more spectrum or more cells.
Third section: Backhaul utilisation by segment. Backhaul is a bottleneck; you need to see when it’s approaching saturation.
Fourth section: Correlation chart showing call success rate vs. radio utilisation. This helps you understand at what utilisation level calls start dropping. If calls start dropping at 85% utilisation, you need to add capacity when you hit 75%.
Fifth section: Forecast chart. Using Superset’s built-in trend analysis, you extrapolate current utilisation trends forward 3 months. This tells you when you’ll hit capacity limits.
This dashboard is for capacity teams and network planners. They review it monthly to make investment decisions.
The Customer Experience Dashboard
This dashboard shows how different customer segments are experiencing the network.
Top section: Call success rate, session completion rate, and average latency by customer segment (prepaid, postpaid, enterprise).
Second section: Churn risk indicators—call drop rate and session failure rate by segment, trended over 3 months. Rising drop rates signal churn risk.
Third section: ARPU by segment and by technology. You see which segments and technologies are most profitable.
Fourth section: A breakdown of failed calls by customer segment and failure reason. This tells you whether failures are affecting all customers equally or hitting certain segments harder.
Fifth section: Roaming performance. If you have roaming customers, you track roaming call success rate and roaming session completion rate separately. Roaming is complex; it often performs worse than home network.
This dashboard is for revenue teams and customer care. It helps them understand customer experience and prioritise improvements.
The Vendor Performance Dashboard
If you use multiple vendors (Nokia, Ericsson, Samsung, etc.) or multiple technology generations, you need to compare their performance.
Top section: Call success rate, handover success rate, and average latency by vendor. This is your vendor scorecard.
Second section: Cost per call (total cost divided by successful calls) by vendor. This is the business metric—you want high quality at low cost.
Third section: Reliability by vendor, measured as mean time between failures (MTBF). Vendors with higher MTBF are more reliable.
Fourth section: Vendor-specific failure modes. Different vendors fail in different ways. You track failure reason by vendor to understand vendor-specific issues.
This dashboard is for procurement and network engineering. It informs vendor negotiations and technology roadmap decisions.
Schema Patterns That Survive Scale
Fact Table Design for High Cardinality
Telco data has extremely high cardinality. A large carrier might have millions of cell sites, millions of customers, and thousands of service types. If you’re not careful, your fact table becomes too large to query efficiently.
The key is to separate event-level facts from aggregated facts. Your raw event table (if you keep it) should be append-only and partitioned by date and by cell site. Use columnar storage (Parquet, ORC) for compression.
But for dashboards, use pre-aggregated tables. Aggregate at the hour level, grouped by cell site, customer segment, service type, and failure reason. This reduces your fact table from billions of rows to millions of rows. Queries run 100x faster.
Partitioning Strategy
Partition your aggregate tables by date (daily partitions) and by region or technology (if your data is large enough). This lets your data warehouse prune partitions that don’t match the query filter, dramatically speeding up queries.
For example, if you partition by date and region, a query filtering for “region = North America, date >= last 7 days” only scans 7 partitions instead of scanning the entire table.
In Superset, make sure your time filters use partition columns. This ensures the database can prune effectively.
Dimension Table Cardinality
Keep dimension tables small. A cell site dimension with 10 million rows is too large. Instead, use a hierarchical approach:
- Cell site dimension: Site ID, site name, region, market, technology. Keep it narrow.
- Cell site details dimension: Site ID, vendor, capacity class, backhaul type, GPS coordinates. This is wider, but you only join it when you need details.
- Customer segment dimension: Segment ID, segment name, revenue tier, SLA tier. Keep it small.
This way, your main fact table joins to small dimension tables, keeping join costs low.
Time Dimension Optimization
Create an explicit time dimension table with one row per hour (or per day, depending on your granularity). Include columns for date, hour, day of week, is_weekend, is_holiday, and business_hours flags.
This lets you aggregate by “business hours only” or “weekends only” without complex case statements. It also makes period-over-period comparison trivial—you join to the time dimension twice (once for current period, once for prior period) and compare.
Handling Slowly Changing Dimensions
Cell sites change—they get upgraded, relocated, or decommissioned. Customer segments change. You need to handle these changes without breaking historical analysis.
Use Type 2 slowly changing dimensions: add effective_date and end_date columns to your dimension tables. When a cell site is upgraded, you insert a new row with a new effective_date, and you set the end_date on the old row.
In your fact table, include both the dimension key and the effective_date. When you join, you join on dimension key AND fact date >= effective_date AND fact date < end_date. This preserves historical accuracy.
Drilldown and Exploration Patterns
Hierarchical Drilldown
Telco networks have natural hierarchies: network → region → market → cell site. Your dashboards should support drilling down this hierarchy.
In Superset, use native filters with hierarchical drill-through. A user sees network-wide metrics, clicks on a region, and the dashboard filters to show region-level metrics. They click on a market, and it filters further.
To enable this, create a drill-through dashboard set:
- Network dashboard: Network-wide KPIs (call success rate, handover success rate, latency).
- Region dashboard: Metrics filtered by region, with a map showing cell sites in that region.
- Cell site dashboard: Detailed metrics for a single cell site, including hourly trends, failure reason breakdown, and backhaul utilisation.
Link these dashboards together using Superset’s cross-filter feature. When a user clicks on a region in the network dashboard, it opens the region dashboard with that region pre-selected.
Time-Series Exploration
Telco metrics are inherently time-series. You need to explore trends, spot anomalies, and understand seasonality.
Superset supports time-series charts with multiple series. Show call success rate over time, broken down by technology. You’ll immediately see if 5G is performing worse than 4G.
Add anomaly detection. Superset can flag data points that deviate significantly from the trend. If call success rate drops 5% overnight, that’s an anomaly—you need to investigate.
Support period-over-period comparison. Show this week’s call success rate vs. last week’s, or this month vs. last month. This helps you understand whether a metric change is seasonal or a real problem.
Cohort Analysis
Customer cohorts behave differently. New customers have different churn patterns than long-term customers. Enterprise customers have different usage patterns than prepaid customers.
Build cohort analysis dashboards that group customers by acquisition date or by segment, and track their behaviour over time. This helps you understand customer lifecycle and identify at-risk cohorts.
Ad-Hoc Exploration
Operators need to ask questions that don’t fit into pre-built dashboards. “Which cell sites have more than 10% call drop rate?” or “Show me all failures in the north region on Thursdays.”
Superset’s SQL Lab feature lets operators write custom SQL queries. This is powerful but risky—bad queries can overload your database.
Mitigate this by:
- Creating a read-only database user for SQL Lab.
- Setting query timeouts (e.g., 5 minutes max).
- Pre-building common queries as saved queries that operators can modify.
- Training operators on query best practices (use aggregate tables, not raw events; filter by date; use LIMIT).
Performance Optimisation for Real-Time Telco Data
Query Caching Strategy
Many users query the same metrics. Without caching, every dashboard load hits the database. With caching, the second user gets instant results.
Superset supports query result caching. Configure Redis as your cache backend. Set cache TTL (time to live) based on your data freshness requirements:
- Real-time dashboards (network operations): 5-minute cache TTL. Data is 5 minutes old, which is acceptable for operations.
- Trend dashboards (capacity planning): 1-hour cache TTL. Trends don’t change minute-to-minute.
- Historical dashboards (monthly reports): 24-hour cache TTL. Historical data doesn’t change.
This dramatically reduces database load. A 5-minute cache TTL means you query the database once per 5 minutes, not once per dashboard load.
Database-Level Optimisation
Your data warehouse needs to be fast. Follow these principles:
Columnar storage: Use columnar databases (ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery) or columnar file formats (Parquet). Telco dashboards query a few columns out of many; columnar storage reads only the columns you need.
Compression: Telco data compresses well. ClickHouse achieves 10:1 compression on typical telco data. This saves storage and speeds up queries.
Indexing: Index on columns you filter by frequently (date, region, technology, cell site). Indexes speed up filtering.
Statistics: Keep table statistics up to date so the query planner makes good decisions.
Partitioning: Partition by date and by region. Queries that filter by date or region prune partitions and run faster.
Superset-Level Optimisation
Reference the Data Engineer’s Guide to Lightning-Fast Apache Superset Dashboards for detailed optimisation techniques. Key points:
Use native filters: Native filters are faster than SQL filters because they’re applied at the database level.
Limit rows returned: Set a row limit on tables (e.g., show top 100 cell sites). Returning 1 million rows is slow; returning 100 is fast.
**Avoid SELECT ***: Specify the columns you need. Superset auto-generates SQL; make sure it’s not selecting unnecessary columns.
Aggregate in the database, not in Superset: Superset can do some aggregation, but it’s slower than database aggregation. Use pre-aggregated tables.
Use materialized views: If you have complex logic, create a materialized view in your data warehouse and query that view from Superset. Materialized views are pre-computed and fast.
Real-Time Data Ingestion
Telco dashboards need to be fresh. If your data is 1 hour old, you can’t respond to real-time problems.
Ingest data continuously:
- Stream events from your network infrastructure (RAN, core network, backhaul) into a message queue (Kafka, Pulsar).
- Stream processor (Flink, Spark Streaming, ksqlDB) consumes events, applies business logic, and aggregates to hourly buckets.
- Write aggregates to your data warehouse every 5 minutes.
- Superset queries the data warehouse and serves dashboards.
This pipeline can deliver data to dashboards in 5–10 minutes. That’s real-time enough for operations.
Security and Compliance in Telco Dashboards
Data Access Control
Telco data is sensitive. Customer data is personally identifiable information (PII). Network data can reveal competitive intelligence about your network capacity and performance.
Implement role-based access control (RBAC):
- Network operators: Can see all network metrics but not customer data.
- Revenue team: Can see customer metrics but not detailed network data.
- Executives: Can see high-level KPIs but not detailed data.
- Vendor engineers: Can see only their vendor’s performance metrics.
Superset supports RBAC. Define roles, assign permissions, and restrict users to specific dashboards and datasets.
Row-Level Security
Within a role, users should only see data they’re authorised to see. A regional manager should only see their region. A vendor engineer should only see their vendor’s data.
Superset supports row-level security (RLS) via SQL filters. Define a filter like region = '${LOGGED_IN_USER.region}' and apply it to datasets. When a user queries the dataset, Superset injects their region into the filter.
Implement RLS on all sensitive datasets: customer metrics, revenue metrics, and vendor performance.
Audit Logging
Telco operators are regulated. You need to log who accessed what data and when.
Superset logs all queries and dashboard views. Enable audit logging and ship logs to a centralised logging system (ELK, Splunk, etc.). Retain logs for at least 1 year.
This provides an audit trail: if there’s a data breach, you can see who accessed sensitive data.
Data Encryption
Encrypt data in transit (use HTTPS for Superset, use SSL for database connections) and at rest (enable encryption on your data warehouse storage).
For sensitive data (customer PII, revenue data), consider field-level encryption. Encrypt the data in the database, and decrypt it only when needed.
Compliance Frameworks
Telco data is often subject to regulatory frameworks:
- GDPR (European Union): You need to protect customer PII and provide data deletion on request.
- CCPA (California): Similar to GDPR.
- Telecom regulations (various countries): You may need to retain call detail records (CDRs) for law enforcement requests.
Superset doesn’t directly enforce compliance, but it’s part of your compliance infrastructure. Make sure your dashboard access logs are audit-ready, and make sure you can restrict access to sensitive data.
If you’re pursuing formal compliance certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001), Superset needs to be part of your security architecture. Document your access controls, audit logging, and encryption practices. When you’re ready to audit, tools like Vanta can help you demonstrate compliance. PADISO’s Security Audit service helps teams get audit-ready for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance via Vanta, which can help ensure your analytics infrastructure meets regulatory standards.
