🔗 How to Design a Point-to-Point Link
Configure base stations, place receivers, and analyze RF link performance — including RSRP, RSSI, and Fresnel zone clearance.
🛠️ Step 1: Add Your Transmitting Radio
-
Click Hardware or press H
-
Select Add AP > Cellular > Outdoor
-
Choose a model (e.g., Tirana 3.5 GHz)
-
Set:
-
Height
-
Transmission Power
-
EIRP
-
Antenna type
-
Downtilt and Azimuth
-
-
Click Add AP and place it on the map
🧭 Step 2: Refine Location and Orientation
-
Use the sidebar to update:
-
Latitude/Longitude
-
Azimuth direction
-
-
Click Update to reposition precisely
📡 Step 3: Add Receiver and Create the Link
-
Click Fixed Wireless Tool
-
Select your Transmitter (or click it directly)
-
Then select your Receiver location
-
Set the Receiver Height (e.g., 6 meters)
-
Click Apply
📊 Step 4: View Signal Strength
-
Hover on the map to see real-time:
-
RSRP or RSSI (switchable via dropdown)
-
Calculations appear in the right-hand panel
-
🌀 Step 5: Run Fresnel Analysis
-
After placing the receiver:
-
Click on the link to view transmitter, receiver, and clearance
-
Click Download for a Fresnel zone visualization report
-
🎛️ Step 6: Adjust and Refine
-
Move receiver or change height to see instant updates
-
Transparency settings let you see base imagery under the heatmap
-
Re-analyze as needed to optimize line-of-sight and performance
