Our company has been using the RadioPlanner and MLinkPlanner software with great success in planning and developing coverage studies for a number of our large industrial clients.
The RadioPlanner and MLinkPlanner software, when used together, gives us the ability to confirm the coverage and link paths for all aspects of PMR digital radio networks, along with associated IP wireless backhaul systems for our clients.
The output reports from the software are very professional, and the ability to export maps to Google Earth gives even greater flexibility for the presentation of information.
The software is highly configurable whilst also being very easy to use. We got going and were generating quality outputs within an hour. The provided equipment library files are very extensive and already contained just about every product and antenna that we wanted to perform modeling for Such as Cambium, RFI, Ubiquiti.
I highly recommend this software to anyone who needs to perform RF planning and predictive coverage works. We have been using RadioPlanner 2. The tool is very intuitive and has most of the functionalities required to quickly predict radio service coverage based on specified RSSI levels, both for the uplink and downlink, and help in optimizing system performance. The application is very efficient where clutter and terrain databases reside in "the cloud" and only required geographic tiles get downloaded where the radio propagation processing is done locally.
Our 2 favorite features are 1 able to display radio plots for 2 different mobile device profiles low and high power , and 2 end-point analysis which allows us to enter technical details for each wireless device power, antenna heights, losses, RX sensitivity and then conduct an analysis on the link engineering including antenna azimuth between each device and all visible radio base station sites.
We have over , devices in the field and this analysis saves us years of work and guessing, and simplifies the process for field device installations. The end-point analysis also allows us to flag devices that may have radio issues and help enhance radio optimization for those devices to improve customer satisfaction.
Support services from CTT developers has been excellent on adding or enhancing any features and capabilities required in the application. We highly recommend this radio planning tool for planning LTE fixed wireless networks. I was looking for an easy to use application for coverage prediction and planning. I came accross the Radioplanner2 tool. The tool is easy to install and easy to start using. The tool offers coverage maps based on downlink signal and minimum RSSI values.
