I am a telecommunications engineer and I am working as a field engineer for a mobile network operator. Deploying, maintaining and rescuing microwave link are important parts of my job.
When being onsite (and sometimes on antenna tower) I find it inconvenient and waste of time to check the microwave link information on laptop PC with some tools such as pathloss, google earth … And the existing datafills are not always exact.
Another problem is that using compass is not easy because of magnetic interference from antenna tower. So directions of the link can not be determined accurately.
Because of the above reasons, I’ve made an android application called Microwave Link Calculator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bom.microwave_viba) to help myself and people working in the field.
With Microwave Link Calculator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bom.microwave_viba&hl=en) you can:
- Get exactly GPS Coordinate at your current site and share your partners at the other site.
- Get the elevation of each site and elevation of the link. This lets you estimate the position to set up the outdoor equipment parts on the antenna towers.
- Get azimuths from one site to the other one.
- With google map integrated, the microwave link can be displayed on map, you can look at some nearer targets to easily determine direction of the link from your site exactly.
You can download (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bom.microwave_viba&hl=en)Microwave Link Calculator on Google Play Store:https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...microwave_viba (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bom.microwave_viba)
Please let me know your ideas for better updates.
