This application allows customers to determine link performance characteristics for the Point-to-Point Series of wireless Ethernet Bridges, and specifically the 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series solutions. The PTP LINKPlanner, available for PCs and Macs, allows the operator to conduct "what if" scenarios, based on geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power and other factors, to optimize system performance before purchase. This feature-rich tool is the next generation of Motorola’s widely popular Link Estimator, a tool that has been used to plan the successful deployment of thousands of point-to-point links across the globe every month using Google Earth. The new and improved LINKPlanner provides the ability to plan both single and multiple links simultaneously, an intelligent and time-saving feature that is not available in Link Estimator.

Quick Start Path profile information comes directly from the Motorola servers - with no web form to complete - and is sent as an email, to be imported into the LINKPlanner tool.

Graphical Display Optimize a link before deployment by changing input data to see the effect on performance and throughput. For example, if a link calculation indicates low throughput, then a number of factors (product type, frequency, channel bandwidth, antenna height, antenna size etc) can be changed to see the improvement on link performance.

Timeliness and Reporting Typically the link planning process takes approximately an hour, and the resulting report provides graphical and textual detail of the path and its projected performance.

Download The tool can be downloaded from Motorola's wi4 software pages.
