What is radio coverage planning?

Radio coverage planning is the process of designing and validating wireless coverage and capacity for indoor and outdoor environments. It includes RF modelling, coverage predictions (heatmaps), and recommendations for access point or antenna placement to meet defined performance targets.

Do you provide on-site surveys and validation?

Yes. NetWind can perform pre-deployment surveys (baseline and feasibility) and post-deployment verification (acceptance testing). We provide measurement results, gap analysis and an optimisation plan based on real-world performance.

Which networks do you support (Wi-Fi, Private LTE/5G, Public Safety)?

We support radio coverage planning for Wi-Fi, Private LTE/5G and critical communications use cases. The exact scope depends on your environment, KPIs and coverage/capacity requirements.

What deliverables will we receive?

Typical deliverables include coverage prediction maps (indoor/outdoor), capacity planning assumptions, recommended AP/antenna placement guidance, a Bill of Materials (BOM), and a final report with methodology, constraints and optimisation recommendations.

Do you use Ranplan for RF planning?

Yes. We use Ranplan to deliver accurate and repeatable RF planning results for indoor and outdoor networks, supporting prediction, optimisation and project workflows.

What do you need from us to start a coverage study?

To start, we typically need floor plans or site maps, your performance targets (KPIs), and any constraints (materials, heights, restricted areas). We then recommend the right scope: prediction, survey, or end-to-end study.

Campus & Outdoor Areas

Industrial sites, logistics hubs, ports and large outdoor areas that require scalable design and reliable handover.

Public Safety & Challenging Locations

Transportation, tunnels and critical infrastructure where coverage reliability is non-negotiable.

Our approach

We follow a structured workflow to keep projects fast, transparent and measurable:

Requirements & KPIs(coverage targets, capacity needs, constraints)
Site data collection(floor plans, materials, heights, outdoor maps)
RF modelling & prediction(indoor/outdoor propagation)
Design proposal(placements, parameters, assumptions)
On-site survey(measurements and validation)
Final report & optimisation(actions, BOM, next steps)

Powered by Ranplan

To deliver accurate and repeatable results, we use Ranplan —industry-leading wireless network design software for planning and optimising indoor and outdoor networks.
