MLinkPlanner 1.2 Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Microwave Link Planning Software
mlinkplanner.com – Download Free Trial
Fully automatic generation of path profile with terrain elevation, tree height, and height of buildings based on:
– global terrain elevation 1 arc sec (about 30 m) resolution SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) data. Data sources: USGS EarthExplorer site https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov;
– global tree cover 1 arc sec (about 30 m) resolution data with information about trees height. Data sources: High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change Published by Hansen, Potapov, Moore, Hancher et al. Department of Geographical Sciences University of Maryland https://earthenginepartners.appspot.com and Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology https://landscape.jpl.nasa.gov;
– global 3D buildings data from OpenStreetMap project database. Data sources: Our buildings database, which synchronizes every minute with the global OpenStreetMap database.
All these types of geodata are downloaded automatically as needed; there is no need to worry about preloading the geodata.
Moreover, you can edit an existing or create a new path profile manually.
The application allows you to use any kinds of basemaps—both common (such as OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, etc.) and custom ones.
MLinkPlanner can perform the calculation and optimization of microwave link parameters, including:
– path profile analysis (evaluate clearance criteria according to Rec. ITU-R P.530-16, obstruction loss, reflection geometry);
– multipath fade probability calculation (Rec. ITU-R P.530-17);
– rain fade calculation (Rec. ITU-R P.530-17);
– diversity improvement calculation (frequency, space and quad diversity);
– cochannel operation link calculation;
– error performance and availability calculation (Rec. ITU-R F.1668, Rec. ITU-R F.1703);
– reflection analysis (Rec. ITU-R P.530-17);
– diffraction loss analysis (Rec. ITU-R P.526-13).
MLinkPlanner can perform radio coverage for PtMP systems with the different area study methods:
– Received Power Studies at subscriber station (downlink)
– Strongest (Most Likely) Server
