RF Engineering

Dura-Tech’s management and engineering team has years of RF industry expertise. We offer the following services to help you plan and build an RF deployment:

RF Propagation analysis/coverage plots
Dura-Tech utilizes RF propagation software to develop coverage plots. These plots assist carriers in determining AP coverage.

RF Site survey
Dura-Tech can perform an on-site survey to determine feasibility or to assist in network construction.

RF Path analysis
Dura-Tech can perform an analysis of the path from AP to the end user (and back), to determine Fresnel/Earth Curvature clearance. This is especially helpful for wireless backhaul links.

Link budgets
Dura-Tech can perform a link budget to determine if an RF link will or will not work. A link budget can also determine adequate signal strength.

Spectrum analysis
Dura-Tech can perform spectrum analysis to determine possible sources of interference in a network area.

Interference analysis
Dura-Tech can do analysis to determine what type of interference exists or IF any interference exists. This is one of our more critical functions because many network issues are mistaken for interference.

Tower structural studies
Dura-Tech has the resources to that can perform tower studies.

Zoning/planning board meetings
In most municipalities, planning and zoning board approval is required to build new wireless towers. Dura-Tech has experience in working with these boards and can assist municipality staff members with board presentations to obtain zoning/planning board approvals.

FAA/FCC coordination
Dura-Tech can help with regulatory coordination like FAA studies, submitting FAA Form 7460, and FCC tower registration.

Proposal writing (methodologies)
If you are a local municipality or a WISP in need of an RFP or an RFP response, Dura-Tech can assist you with this methodology.
