Interference is one of the single biggest issues in radio which limits the potential of a system or network. There are different types of interference but the problem of interference visualisation is common to all. With simulation software you can model your system, and an interfering system, but understanding the… Read more: Interference analysis
HF Ionospheric propagation, known as Skywave, has been added to the CloudRF API. While Satcom offers clear advantages in terms of speed, bandwidth, and the ability to provide real-time, high-quality data transmission, HF remains a crucial alternative where cost, independence from satellites, portability, power efficiency, and resiliency are important. Wide… Read more: HF Skywave
Our latest feature release adds new APIs and retires the virtual machine for a container-first solution compatible with more host systems which enables GPU sharing and greater control over both code and user data. 3D API A new full 3D API and GPU engine designed for urban simulations with multipath,… Read more: SOOTHSAYER 1.8 released
Monday 8th July 2024 Following our most recent field testing, we have identified two significant improvements in accuracy: The first is a new deterministic propagation model; the General Purpose model. This is a frequency agnostic curve which takes its accuracy from high quality reference data. It’s dependency on high resolution… Read more: Model and Clutter improvements
Our latest field test was focused on drive testing novel antennas by UK SME Far Field Exploits (FFX) around the Somerset countryside with Trellisware radios. Previously, we validated diffraction models using LTE800 in the Mountains. The outcome of that cold test highlighted Deygout as the most accurate diffraction model when… Read more: Antenna drive testing
True 3D multi-path Following two years of R&D, our new 3D engine and API is live. It uses an advanced volumetric design to simulate propagation in all directions making it more advanced than 2D engines which can only produce flat images. By design, it supports multi-path and phase tracking to… Read more: 3D radio propagation API
The problem with tunnels and stairs Whenever there’s been a major incident involving emergency services in complex urban environments the inquiry report has consistently highlighted radio communications failure despite significant developments in radio communications and 3D technology since the infamous 1988 Kings Cross Fire on the London Underground. The following… Read more: 3D simulation roadmap
We have lab tested three different size hardware profiles for running our SOOTHSAYERTM RF planning server to find out how they compare under load. These consumer profiles cater for different setups ranging from an enterprise with rack mounted servers, to a small office to a vehicle. Enterprise server This server… Read more: SOOTHSAYER server performance testing
Our latest major release of our private server, SOOTHSAYER, is ready. It includes six months of features, updates and bug fixes from CloudRF and features several customer sponsored capabilities including RADAR and Trilateration. By popular demand, we now have a Docker enterprise solution so you can build your own containers… Read more: SOOTHSAYER 1.7 released
Recently, we added advanced diffraction models to CloudRF to complement our existing models. To validate the performance of the new Bullington and Deygout models, we took a field trip to the Highlands of Scotland to collect UHF measurements over rugged mountain terrain and through forests. With these measurements we have… Read more: Field testing diffraction
Today we launched a new model for ionospheric communication planning with High Frequency Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS). It’s available in the interface and directly via the area, path, points or multisite API calls. The powerful GPU accelerated capability offers a modern way of visualising and teaching NVIS propagation. It… Read more: HF Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS)
Cognitive radio, in it’s present form, describes a spectrum sensing radio which can change channel to avoid noise. This capability is standard now on domestic Wi-Fi routers. With our modelling API and modern radios with APIs we can do much more. Here we present two demos using a raspberry Pi… Read more: An API for Cognitive Radio
The latest release of our private server, SOOTHSAYERTM is now available with bigger limits, better reference data, VSphere 8 enterprise GPU support, enhanced security controls and improved performance. GPU clutter attenuation The GPU engine can now model clutter attenuation in the same way as the CPU engine, only much faster.… Read more: SOOTHSAYER 1.6 released
Taggle supplies the Australian water industry with innovative smart water meters and analytics, connected with Taggle’s Byron DSSS sub GHz radio technology, which is Australia’s most widely deployed LPWAN technology. As a long time CloudRF customer, Taggle use the service to efficiently plan and deploy new gateway sites and also… Read more: Saving water with Radio
On Saturday 6th May the worlds media descended on London for the Coronation of King Charles, an event last planned before many people had television. As the national broadcaster, the BBC managed the coverage and worked with Neutral Wireless to deploy an innovative private 5G network, with dedicated spectrum, along… Read more: Critical Coronation private 5G network planned with CloudRF
“I’ve never seen modelling that matches the real world” Anon Noise in the RF spectrum is a growing issue. It undermines the performance of systems and requires careful spectrum management and deconfliction to mitigate its impact. Sources of noise can be natural, industrial or man made. Regardless of the source,… Read more: Live noise floor modelling
Summary We field tested our software to improve it for beyond line of sight planning. From analysis of data we have improved diffraction accuracy, clutter profiles and crucially have proven that high resolution LiDAR is not the best choice for beyond line of sight or sub GHz modelling. An RMSE… Read more: Calibrating beyond line of sight RF modelling with field testing
Today we have launched a new GPU accelerated API called “Multisite” which is capable of modelling hundreds of sites in the time we previously would have done one. This exponential increase in capability grew from our Best Site Analysis (BSA) capability which uses a Monte Carlo technique to test hundreds… Read more: Multisite API
Here’s a roundup of what’s changed since June. As always it’s been a busy period of development which we’ve matched with a focus on maintenance and bugfixes. Our backlog of feature and change requests stands at 28 for the UI and 23 for the API with all priority issues resolved.… Read more: System updates – 3.6 (Nov 22)
