Please download the new PTP LINKPlanner tool to complete Path Profiles
from
www.motorola.com/ptp/software.
The new PTP LINKPlanner is the Point-to-Point Wireless Solutions Group's
next generation path planning tool and replaces the flagship Link
Estimator tool. The tool has many new features that improve its ease of
use and functionality to include:
- Planning for multiple links in minutes
- Importing sites directly form Google Earth
- Automating Path Profile acquisition
- Safeguarding results by reducing user input errors
- Expanding breadth of portfolio coverage to include the PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series platforms
Visit
www.motorola.com/ptp to read more about our new PTP 300 Series
radio for the 5.8 and 5.4 GHz spectrums. Not only does the 300 Series
have all the award winning spectral efficiency and non line-of-sight
(NLoS) technology found in the other Series radios, these capabilities
can be analyzed and leveraged when using the Motorola PTP LINKPlanner.
The PTP 300 is the industry's most cost effective NLoS solution
available.
The LINKPlanner software sends its Path Profile requests automatically
which means that you no longer have to fill in this page manually.
We welcome your continued input on the new tool and are confident it
will further simplify path planning for all your fixed and temporary

The following form will be available for a limited time whilst people
migrate to the LINKPlanner tool
This form is used to input the local and remote locations for a link. After submitting the
values the server will compute the land profile for input into the Link Estimator. It does not give
any path obstructions such as buildings or trees. These are best inserted into the Link Estimator
walking the high points of the path with a GPS, alternatively in some countries aerial photography is
available which enables insertion of trees at locations along the path.
After
submitting the form, the server will send an email to the address specified with a
.dat file enclosed which may be imported into the Link Estimator to give the ground profile of the radio path.
Location can be entered in a number of formats. These are:
- 'ddd:mm:ss.sP' eg. 50:33:20.6N,
- 'ddd:mm.mmmP' eg. 50:33.339N, and
- 'ddd.dddddP' eg 50.55345N.
where d=degrees, m=minutes, s=seconds and P=point of compass as one of
the letters 'NnSsEeWw'. The geodetic reference for this data is the
WGS84 EGM96 geoid.
Latitude and Longitude of the target local and remote locatations can be found from many places on the web including
www.multimap.co.uk.
However, the best method of determining the local and remote site positions is using a GPS.
The Length units can be in Miles or Kilometers and the Height units can be in Meters or Feet.
Once chosen here, these values will be used in the Link Estimator.
The Height of the Local and Remote antennas Above Ground Level (AGL)
can be specified here and modified in the Link Estimator. (Hover help is available for many items on
the form.)
Please let us know the reason for using this form rather than the PTP LINKPlanner built in feature
