3. Path Study

Determine what obstacles may stand in the way and overcome them.

     We provide several simple calculators to assist with estimating antenna orientation, free space loss, and converting power measurements.

     Complex calculations like Fresnel zone, and various methods of measuring over-the-air losses are described in our support section, and results are provided in our detailed Path Studies.

     Complex mathematics aside, testing a wireless connection is often the only accurate way to determine how it will behave. To help alleviate some of the costs of considering a new wireless installation or lessen the strain of replacing your existing radios, SATEL USA offers affordable onsite and offsite services to determine a system’s viability and installation path.

     Working from the anticipated locations, we use topographical map data and established calculations to determine anticipated signal strengths, Fresnel zone, and other significant network characteristics.

     For a more complete examination of a proposed system, we can also combine calculated data with actual measurements taken onsite to deliver a comprehensive image of the planned system.
