Benefits

wavesight^™ uniquely incorporates building layout in its algorithmic calculations, allowing a three-dimensional simulation of wave propagation.  This is more accurate than planning tools that only take into account terrain, or two-dimensional analysis.  wavesight^™ uses a fully deterministic approach that has the following advantages:

·        No calibration against measurements is necessary; the tool needs only shape and height of the buildings, terrain elevation above see level and position, height, transmission power, azimuth and tilt angles and radiation pattern of the transmitter location, to perform propagation analysis.

·        Scenario analysis. Several locations for the base station can be simulated on the computer with different power levels and antenna orientations to allow optimisation of the transmitter location

·        "See" the network wavesight^™ can provide a full coverage analysis, to check transmission quality in every part of the service area. Areas with insufficient coverage can be identified and remedied so that network operators need not rely on transmission complaints from customers 

Empirical Models Vs. wavesight^™

It is clear that the coverage in the empirical prediction is crudely estimated (red area), whereas wavesight^™ prediction takes physical characteristics of cities into account (buildings, streets, terrain) to compute a precise map. The canyon effect of streets is visible.
