Abstract:
In an embodiment, a system for optimizing service quality for a line of sight (LOS) radio service is provided. The system includes identifying an antenna on a rooftop and determining a transmitter to provide LOS radio service to the antenna. A residential units data set for the service area is created. In an embodiment, the residential units data set is based on a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data set. The residential units data set is accessed and a cross section analysis of a line of sight from the transmitter with the rooftop data is conducted to identify regions that have line of sight. A region is selected for antenna placement based on the cross section analysis.
