Yes, sorry if I caused confusion explaining our case.

The problem I wanted to address is: are we trying to define a model to
best represent our devices on a map?

If this is the case there are certain issues to discuss that are not
important if we are not talking about mapping. For example the node/site
concept for grouping devices. In some models the base object -which
holds location data- is a node (which can contain multiple devices)
while in others the base object is the device itself.
