The prudent approach to deploying any system is to understand exactly the variables involved and whether your design will meet the performance goals desired. For a wireless deployment, these calculations can be made in advance to help make informed decisions.
RF Path Profiling
RF Path Profiles, invaluable in Wireless Bridging designs, illustrate the terrain features in the vertical plane between two locations. Sophisticated software leverages U.S. Geological Survey data to visualize the obstacles a proposed link would encounter.
RF Link Budget
Link Budget is a detailed account of all gains and losses the RF signal could encounter along its path. By gathering this estimation we are able to better project signal quality and network design requirements.
Link Feasibility
Link Feasibility is a combination of the RF Path Profile data, Link Budget, and performance specifications of the desired radio and antenna system. The factors are weighed to determine if the system will meet performance and reliability goals.
