Overview
Plume's network carries 1.8 billion devices across 40 million homes in 195 territories. Data Stories is the system that made that telemetry public — a WebGL globe rendering live device density, a run of published reports, and the identity that came out of them. The data was not illustrated after the fact; the brand was drawn from what the network actually reported.
