Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
Benjamin Franklin
Radio is complicated
Teaching physics for an invisible medium is not easy. Using Cloud-RF you can give students and employees friendly tools to apply theory and learn quicker. As a technology agnostic platform the service is ideal for students learning the antenna theory and RF fundamentals. It is already used by many forward-looking institutes for training of individuals and groups.
Tools for novices not scientists
Many RF modelling tools are unsuitable for students, especially novices. Unintuitive interfaces, hundreds of menus and options for protocols they don’t need all add up to a large training burden.
A tool should be easy to pick up and learn. This is reflected in our own documentation and training which is bitesize by design with tooltips in interfaces and quick-look knowledge bases. The days of attending a week long course to learn overly complex software by rote are thankfully in the past.
Group bookings
The Cloud-RF service is available every hour of the day for teachers and students. You can test for free on the island of Ibiza or order a plan to remove limits. For schools we can setup role based student accounts for 1 month or 1 year, whatever is required.
On premises software
As well as Cloud services we sell a private instance of the service called Keyhole Radio which you can read about here.
