Forecaster GPS-Based Mapping Coverage Software
Forecaster™
is a GPS-based mapping tool with the use of the BVS
Coyote and
Gator. It consists of
two parts: Projector and Analyzer.
Forecaster™ allows Coyote users to plot and view
coverage of wireless networks in table or graphical windows
with the ability to create HTML reports of base
stations/antennae coverage and RF overlap areas. KML overlap
reports may also be generated allowing coverage to be viewed
using
popular programs such as GoogleEarth™.
Forecaster™ combines realtime Coyote™ measurements
with GPS geo-coding accuracy. Forecaster provides powerful
survey functions including:
1. Coverage validation
and reliability analysis
2. Base station location estimation
3. Automatic and manual cluster measuring points for
analysis
