Network design

The map decides what the network can do

Terrain, height and line of sight set the limits long before hardware does. We model the coverage first, in writing, so the bill of materials is an outcome rather than a guess.

Start with a survey

What you get

  • Terrain and path analysis

    Elevation, obstruction and Fresnel clearance for every proposed link, worked from real terrain data rather than a straight line on a map.

    • Path profiles per link
    • Fresnel and clearance
    • Seasonal foliage allowance
  • Link budgets

    Transmit power, antenna gain, cable loss, fade margin. A predicted receive level for each hop and an honest note where the margin is thin.

    • Per-hop margin
    • Antenna and feeder choices
    • Spreading-factor trade-offs
  • Siting

    Where each gateway or repeater goes, and why — weighed against what can actually be mounted, powered and reached for maintenance.

    • Mount and mast options
    • Power availability
    • Access for service
  • A written model

    A document showing predicted coverage, the gaps, and what closing each would cost. Yours to keep, and to hand to another contractor if you prefer.

    • Coverage maps
    • Gap and redundancy analysis
    • Phased build options

You keep the model whoever builds it

The design is a deliverable, not a hook. If you take it to another contractor, or decide the answer is fibre after all, the work still stands on its own.
