Easy, Accurate LINKPlanner Tool

Cambium Networks LinkPlanner

Predictable performance, Shorter installation time

Wireless network operators are constantly looking at how to reduce the total cost of ownership of the network in order to increase their return on investment. Keeping costs down starts with selecting the right equipment with the correct configuration for the desired performance and reliability. Cambium has developed the LINKPlanner tool to simplify the design of these networks whether they are point-to-point or point-to-multipoint. By designing the network with predictable performance up-front the cost of procurement, installation, configuration and on-going support can be minimized.

Optimize for Your Needs

Designed for use with our point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions, LINKPlanner allows you to easily and quickly design networks for optimal deployment and cost effectiveness. With versions for Microsoft Windows and Intel-based Mac systems, LINKPlanner is a free, easy to use link-design tool that can be downloaded from our web site.

  • Engineer a highly reliable wireless link even in challenging environments
  • Plan and optimize a single link or multiple links simultaneously
  • Plan an entire project including PTP and PMP products
  • Perform calculations for both licensed and unlicensed products
  • Automatically load path terrain profiles and environmental factors such as rain fade
  • Display a comprehensive overview of your entire wireless network via Googl Earth
  • Conduct “what if” scenarios based on geography, distance, antenna height and transmit power and instantly see the effects on performance
  • Generate reports that validate projected performance and serve as time-saving deployment guidelines
  • Create a bill of materials for PMP and PTP networks including accessories
  • Plan multi-sector towers and multi tower networks assigning SM’s to the best AP
  • Export list of SM’s and associated modulation modes to the Cambium Capacity planning tool

LinkPlanner In Action

The first step in link design is to enter information about the sites you want to connect. The recommended method to insert sites into a project is to import the latitude and longitude information from sources such as Google Earth.

LINKPlanner then automatically imports a path profile to which the user can add additional obstructions to accurately model the environment.

By modifying system characteristics such as antenna type and height, you can obtain the optimal configuration to achieve the performance you need to meet your throughput and availability requirements. In addition to throughput and availability, you will also see projected system gain margin and path loss for the link.
