À propos de l'application

NOTE: This plugin requires ATAK and a CloudRF plan.
CloudRF is a commercial service with a free plan available at https://cloudrf.com/plans

📶
The SOOTHSAYER ATAK plugin is the mobile interface to the powerful CloudRF API. With this plugin, radio users can rapidly simulate accurate RF networks to solve RF communication problems.

🌲⛰️🏢

Global data

The service uses global high resolution terrain, LiDAR, tree and buildings data with high performance GPU acceleration for fast high-resolution planning.

🎯

Accurate

The modelling accuracy is regularly field tested and our models and clutter have been calibrated to under 7dB RMSE in NLOS environments. Field test reports are published at CloudRF.com.

🚀

Fast

Our GPU accelerated service is the fastest on the market and infinitely more efficient than trying to compute a high resolution model on your phone. With this plugin you can use a complex ITU model with diffraction and attenuation up to a resolution of 4 million points (4MP) in several seconds.

📻📡

Radio Templates

Pre-defined system templates are included for:
5G base station, TETRA UHF portable, Airport RADAR, VHF radio, CUAS system, DMR VHF, LTE800 UE, LoRa gateway (Meshtastic), MANET L Band, MANET S Band, Marine VHF, Drone/UAS at 100m, WLAN sector antenna.

💡

How it works

This plugin is a client to the CloudRF API.
Users login to their account and then select a radio from their templates list.
System templates are provided for beginners and users can define custom templates which saves time and reduces error when it matters.

The radio can be placed upon the map by clicking the app icon and then coverage calculated by clicking the play button or dragging the radio.

Requests are sent to the API and a response returned as a layer or a link which is overlaid upon the map.


↔️

Links

Bi-directional links are modelled using either signal-to-noise (dB) or received power (dBm) units. Users can define levels and colours.

🟢

Coverage

A coverage heatmap is created according to the template's colour schema. The resolution of this can be adjusted to fit available bandwidth or device memory. Coverage for a single site or all sites can be modelled which integrates with ATAK's layer controls so you can show/hide/share layers.

🚓

Co-Opt

Live coverage mapping is possible with the co-opt feature. If you can see CoT on the map you can task it with a template and have the coverage and links follow the marker wherever it goes.

🧭

Best Site Analysis

Using a GPU Monte Carlo simulation, you can analyse a polygon to reveal the best site(s) for a radio. Useful for all systems and especially LEO satellite terminals requiring consistent coverage and counter drone (CUAS) sensors.
