Mapping Products and Services

 

Ask-Wi.Com now offers mapping services for the outdoor wireless industry. Wireless mapping combines four variables - wireless signal behavior, signal loss from trees, terrain effects, and physical location. By revealing the interactions between these variables, mapping allows wireless network designers and business planners to minimize network costs while maximizing network performance, profitability, and reliability. Wireless coverage maps and wireless path profiles can be produced for licensed or license-free networks!


Let our maps do the wireless engineering and design work for you!


VES Lookdown Map
™  Visualize-Evaluate-Select



VES Lookdown Map - Coverage Map

Coverage map for a single access point/tower location.


VES Lookdown Map - Coverage Map

Coverage map for the same area but with two access point/tower locations.

Before you choose your access point/tower locations, use our
VES Lookdown Maps to visualize your customer coverage from each potential tower location, to evaluate the best tower locations and to select the tower locations and the equipment that will provide the best customer coverage.


4P Map™ - Point-Point Path Profile


4P Map - Path Profile Map

Before you design an outdoor point-to-point wireless link, use a
4P Map
to confirm that you have a clear wireless "line-of-sight" path. If a wireless path is partially obstructed, the link will be slow, unreliable, or may not work at all. A 4P Map reveals how high your antennas need to be, how much gain your antennas need to have and how much transmitter power and receiver sensitivity you need.



CQ File™ - Customer Qualification File

Use one of our CQ Files with your own copy of the
Google Earth
program before and after your network is deployed. Confirm that your network covers (or will cover) specific customer street addresses. You can qualify a new customer while they are still on the phone! Seeing is believing - that's why we invite you to try a CQ File for yourself. It's this easy:

1. Download the latest
Google Earth version from Google. http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

After you download Google Earth; start it. If you haven't used Google Earth before, this is a good time to become familiar with the features. If you're new to Google Earth, here's a link to the "Getting Started" page.

2. Click here to download a trial CQ File. This is an real-world file (Multi Site Wireless Network Sample.kmz) that allows you to see the coverage provided by a multi-tower wireless ISP.

3. The green that you see is the coverage area of all of the tower sites combined. On the left-hand Google Earth menu, you can check or uncheck (turn on or turn off) each tower site individually to see the coverage area from each tower. You can also check or uncheck the individual names of each tower site. All of the Google Earth features, zooming, tilting, viewing from any compass direction, control of layer density, etc. are fully functional.

4. Try checking to see if a specific street address is within the coverage area. Here are two sample addresses. Cut and paste them one at a time into the "Fly To" window in the upper left-hand corner Google Earth "Search" box.

43685 Yellow Wood Rd, Sauk Centre, MN

820 Commerce Rd, Long Prairie, MN


Using a CQ File makes checking wireless coverage is so easy that anyone in your organization can do it.


GIS Insight Map - Actionable Business Data



GIS Insight - GIS Map

Talk with us about our customized GIS Insight
Maps™. These maps can combine wireless coverage, exact physical location, plus detailed customer information. GIS Insight Maps can display wireless network data, wired network data, population density, income levels, or any other geographically-based customer data in ways that provide insight into improving the efficiency and the profitability of your business.

You can determine how many business or residential customers are within your coverage areas - along with the names and the addresses of those customers. You can do customer capacity planning and prepare address lists for marketing campaigns. You can create maps that are limited only by your creativity.

Use our GIS Insight Maps as a business intelligence tool. Compare actual revenue to potential revenue. Evaluate the business value of merger and acquisition candidates. Show investors the graphical evidence that supports your business plan. Our GIS Insight Maps allow you to make decisions based on empirical data, not just on intuition. Put your own creativity to work - tell us what you would like to see and we'll work with you to make your data visible and actionable.
