PRESS RELEASE |
Forecaster™ is a PC software package for RF propagation analysis, coverage validation & prediction and base station location estimation. The software utilizes a geo-coded map created by Berkeley’s Projector™ software and the survey/measurement data with GPS information collected from Berkeley’s Coyote™ modular receiver system. Forecaster Analyzer™ software creates comprehensive reports (see reverse side) that graphically outline base station coverage, location and overlap. Surveys are plotted in graphic or tabular views and may be exported further into KML files for plotting in applications such as Google Earth™.
1. Coverage validation and reliability analysis
2. Base station location estimation
3. Automatic and manual cluster measuring points for analysis

- What frequencies does Forecaster analyze?
- Forecaster will work with any frequency that the your Coyote receiver supports.
- Do I have to use my Coyote receiver with Forecaster software?
- Yes.
Forecaster software requires calibrated Coyote hardware for later analysis on the PC platform.
