Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive simulator for cellular coverage, sector antennas, interference, and estimated data rates on an LTE 1800 MHz network.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-21 issue.
For
Radio-network learners and cellular-planning students
Worth noticing
Each intersected building subtracts 5 dB, capped at 25 dB, with an additional ±4 dB shadowing term.

Field notes

The model takes the higher of free-space path loss and COST-231 Hata loss for its stated radio parameters. It also assigns channels to stations and treats same-channel signals as interference, with per-user rates divided among active users in a sector. These are presented as teaching and planning mechanics; the extract does not provide validation against measured network data.
