About this app

Microwave Link Calculator is useful for telecommunications engineers, especially when deploying new microwave links (Pasolink NEC NEO VR4 , SIAE, Ceragon, Ericsson - Minilink, Huawei ...). With GPS Coordinates of the two stations, the app can produce:
- Distance between the two sites.
- Azimuths from one site to the other one.
- The elevation of each site and elevation of the link, so implementer can estimate the position to set up the outdoor equipment part on the tower.
- After implementer decides the height of antennas, Microwave Link Calculator will give you the down tilt of each site (DOWN or UP in degree)
- With input parameters such as: frequency, antenna diameter, antenna efficiency the app will provide you estimated antenna gain and expected received power (in free space condition).
- Current GPS Coordinates (latitude, longitude) can be shared immediately to get more exactly input values.
- Compass is provided if implementer is at the antenna tower (by tap on the current position's marker on map). The compass will tell you if you choose right direction (azimuth value).

Furthermore, with Google Map integrated, the microwave link can be displayed on map, therefor implementer can look at some closer targets (cross-roads, buildings …) to easily determine exactly direction of the link from his site.

Ratings and reviews

Annoying unintuitive interface. Finally start making progress figuring out how to use it and a full screen motion advert pops up. All I want is to find out how far my homemade antenna can reach via line of sight from various elevations, drawn on a map. Work with it some more, try to give it an honest go, every time I call the calculation, it's another full screen ad. I get it, they pay the bills, fine, but they're too frequent and shouldn't take up the entire screen.

How digficult is to show the profile and 1rst fresnel zone ? As such it is difficult to use on a small screen. Could be an excellent portable and on site app !

Great app! Our design team miss a mountain on one microwave hop. With just few touchs, we found out the problem. Thank you!
