Wireless Network Design, Geographic Information,
and RF Engineering Services
Our
company provides wireless network design and RF engineering services
to
show the predicted range of wireless systems and the demographics for
those areas. If you are in the process of building a WIMAX system, municipal
data network, WISP,
700 MHz,
3.6 GHz, EBS Licensed Area, or other fixed wireless network
system, contact us before you construct your sites. We help Wireless
Network Operators design their system to see the wireless coverage. This
answers the question "How far will the wireless signal reach, and how
many households will it cover?"
FLASH!!
12-17-09 - Of the Broadband Stimulus Grants being awarded today, the
Rivada Sea Lion project in Alaska was one that we provided the data and
mapping services!
Mapping Services to help ARRA - NTIA BTOP - RUS BIP Grant applications!
Our GIS and
mapping services can be catered to those who are applying for
stimulus money under the NTIA BTOP program or the
RUS BIP programs. Specific tasks such as tabulating the
underserved and unserved areas of your network, distances from the
designated urban areas, and tallying the households covered to the
census block level
can be easily accomplished. Complex mapping of existing broadband
coverage such as Cable and DSL service areas level is also possible. Call for more details and a quote for your specific project.

For
WISP operators who would like to show their network coverage on their web site,
we have the ultimate tool for you! Brian Webster Consulting can map your
complete RF footprint and then convert that information to a format that can be
used with the FREE Google Maps API on your own web site. Visitors to your page
can interactively use a Google Maps interface with your network coverage loaded
as a layer within the map. This can be done with or without an address lookup
tool. To view an example click on the button below.
Pre-Qualify
customers using Google Earth™
We have developed a method
to create Google Earth™
compatible files to show your transmitter coverage area which then
functions as a customer prequalification tool. This allows
you to interactively see where your signal works and where it does not.
In the Google Earth™
search tool you can look up a specific street address and have it zoom
to that location. With your transmitter coverage area map already
loaded, you can clearly see if you can serve this location. This system
works so fast you can tell a potential customer if they are served while
they are still on the phone! It allows you to close sales
with the first call. Existing WISP's who use this system claim immediate
benefits. They are able to schedule installations without doing a site
survey and have reduced their "no-go" install rates significantly.

Customer Mapping and GIS
Data
Detailed maps can be produced that show the residential and business customers
reached by your wireless network. The information can
be used in a direct marketing plan or for an evaluation of a wireless
network worth. For those who wish to know how many households
are passed by a network, this is one way to determine that
answer. The lists can be further enhanced by
adding information such as the serving tower location and
the predicted signal level. Network operators use this
data to plan system capacity. They can see the number of potential
customers, and based on their market penetration forecasts, they size the network and backhaul capacities
accordingly. All of
this information is created in an easy to understand format and
placed in the hands of decision makers.
Other mapping and GIS services include: demographic reports
with details down to the census block level and mapping of
existing customer databases to show concentrations of locations you can ACTUALLY SERVE
with wireless signal. The wireless coverage predictions can be
exported to
any GIS compatible mapping format.
With a competitive market analysis, the most profitable areas to serve with wireless can
be identified. Reports show the
existing DSL and Cable territories along with housing densities. Proper
market research will identify locations with sufficient customer density
to support a wireless system and the broadband competition in that same
area.
These are just a few of the capabilities we have with our database
programs and reporting systems. Please call if you have a unique
situation that requires a custom solution or a complex problem that
needs solving.
