AABSyS Geodata for RF Planning services provide geographic data layers that are developed for radio frequency (RF) propagation to help engineers refine their signal loss prediction models according to the characteristics of the underlying terrain and ground cover.
Geodata for RF Planning requires mapping land cover data which is critical to wireless network design because the surface cover affects propagation of the digital wireless signal. Geodata for RF Planning’s clutter data is classified as the man-made and natural features that may impair radio frequency propagation by reflection, diffraction, absorption, or scattering of the transmission waves. Engineers can determine the optimum location for towers by integrating Clutter data with elevation data (DEM), and physical attribute data, and with propagation models with help of RF software programs.
AABSyS supplies a wide range of high-quality geodata for RF Planning ranging from 1m to 50m resolutions, customized for the client’s propagation model. Following are the key data sets offered:
