Because of the many variables that can affect RF propagation, planning a wireless LAN network used to be a complex and time-consuming endeavor. It required manual site surveys with marked up floor plans and tedious recording of measurement data everywhere in the coverage area. The complexity of the task only increased as the size of wireless LAN deployments grew. Colubris Networks has solved this problem with RF Planner, a software tool set that takes the time and complexity out of wireless LAN planning. RF Planner enables network planners to accurately model WLAN coverage by factoring in common variables, such as physical features, building materials, and WLAN equipment characteristics. RF Planner also facilitates deployment by enabling the assessment of security risks and generating equipment lists.

A Set of Rich Tools for Precise Modeling
RF Planner is built on a unique, patent-pending RF propagation model. This model provides outstanding accuracy by drawing from a comprehensive knowledge base of RF characteristics for Colubris multiservice access points, third-party equipment (client cards, access points and directional antennas), and building materials. Open air modeling capabilities facilitate the design of outdoor campus and municipal networks.
