Coverages (RF Propagation Maps)
Create, edit, reprocess, and duplicate single-tower RF coverage maps.
Create a coverage
- Go to Coverages → Coverages and choose New Coverage.
- Pick a site (or enter coordinates) and antenna height.
- Set RF parameters: antenna type, frequency, TX power, gain, and receive threshold.
- Set display options: signal colors, opacity, maximum range, and rendering quality.
- Enable modeling options such as Use Land Cover, Two Ray, or Viewshed as needed.
- Save — the coverage is queued for processing.
The map editor
The current coverage editor is a full-screen map (Coverage V2). Adjust the antenna, frequency, and land cover directly, then reprocess to see the updated footprint.
Common actions
- Reprocess — recalculate after changing parameters.
- Duplicate — clone a coverage as a starting point.
- Bulk Update Wizard — change parameters across many coverages via CSV.
- Overlays — add ASR (FAA tower) or BDC overlays to the map.
Processing time depends on range and rendering quality. The dashboard shows the current average processing time.
