ATDI’s visibility calculation software now available
free of charge on the Internet
We are offering free download
of our Hertz Mapper Web software on our Internet site. This software is
used in the preliminary phase of network planning to carry out visibility
calculations directly. This step produces an elementary terrain study.
It is very easy to carry out and requires only a small outlay. It is,
however, vital insofar as it forms the basis for any advanced survey of
antenna field of view, which is subsequently used to optimize the network.
Publishers of cartographic information systems have flooded
into this lucrative market, highlighting the functionality offered in
the area of cartographic data processing. They offer products retailing
for several thousand of francs, whereas we provide the possibility of
carrying out visibility calculations for free and immediately, by making
HerTZ Mapper Web available free of charge on ou web site.

Derived from the HerTZ
Mapper application, the HerTZ Mapper Web reading and analysis
software carries out fundamental calculations using digital terrain
models (also available for free download from the same site). This
means it can undertake terrain profile extraction, calculate the
visibility from a given point and the intervisibility between different
points, carry out a search for transmission sites and, finally,
contribute towards equipment configuration.
Our solution benefits from our recognized expertise
acquired in the field of microwave network planning and is especially
adapted to the needs of telecommunications operators. In addition
to its numerous features, HerTZ Mapper Web also integrates parameters
that are essential to operators and which are not taken into account
by cartographic information systems. For example, HerTZ Mapper Web
does not just handle the pure visibility aspect, it also takes into
account the electromagnetic wave propagation modes which impact
on network coverage.

All the results can be printed out directly or exported
in standard format, allowing any operator to view the coverage area of
a network, regardless of where it is in the world.
