MLinkPlanner 2.0 update 220118. Coverage prediction for outdoor Wi-Fi networks

Now you can make a coverage prediction for a Wi-Fi city-scale network taking into account the characteristics of the propagation environment along the streets and buildings parameters. This feature allows you to design outdoor Wi-Fi networks with public access on a city scale, large-scale corporate outdoor Wi-Fi networks, Smart City networks, and so on.

The coverage prediction is based on the combined propagation model ITU-R P.1238-11 + Diffraction. The Bullington model is adopted as the diffraction model.

This combined propagation model takes into account the following factors:

- Outdoor signal attenuation according to the selected outdoor environment

- Indoor signal attenuation according to indoor propagation environment for buildings

- Power loss when the signal penetrates inside buildings

- Diffraction loss on terrain roughness

- Building heights

There is an outdoor Wi-Fi project sample based on Ubiquiti Unifi UWB-XG outdoor access points among the project file samples.

More details are in the updated User Manual.

RadioPlanner 2.1 Update 211216

In TV and radio broadcasting projects, you can now use full 3D antenna patterns in * .pat format https://help.edx.com/help/directional-antenna-pattern-file.This is relevant for complex broadcast antenna systems based on panels with different tilt angles in different azimuths. In the * .pat format, the vertical antenna patterns are presented as "slices" across multiple azimuths. When loading a file with such a radiation pattern in the transmitter parameters window, it will be possible to view all the antenna "slices":

Indoor RadioPlanner 1.0

We are glad to present the first Indoor RadioPlanner release.

Indoor RadioPlanner is designed for planning indoor wireless networks. Release 1.0 is mainly intended for planning Wi-Fi networks in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, but it can be used for planning indoor GSM/ 3G / LTE / 5G networks in the frequency range 300 MHz – 7.5 GHz.

More information is on Indoor RadiPlanner page. A trial version, an overview video, and a user manual are also available.

Until New Year, Indoor RadioPlanner can be purchased at an attractive price of just $ 99, or even get it as a gift when purchasing our other planning tools. More details here: https://www.wireless-planning.com/purchase
