Your radio wins the design, or a generic profile does
The design that sets the bill of materials rarely happens in your tool. It happens in somebody else's, where your access point arrives as a generic profile — and the engineering you paid for stops existing at the moment a specifier is choosing.
What happens today
Three places your specification gets lost
None of these is anyone's fault. They are just where the datasheet stops travelling.
Your own design tool
plans your access points properly
The seam
it only plans yours — the integrator designing a mixed building with cameras, cabling and power is not in it
A third-party predictive tool
where the design that sets the BOM actually happens
The seam
your radio arrives as a generic profile or a stale library entry, and your advantage flattens
The datasheet
your differentiation, in writing
The seam
it rarely reaches the model that decides which AP is specified
No invented numbers
Your radio, read from your datasheet
AP radio specifications are datasheet-driven, against IEEE 802.11ax and 802.11be. The rule underneath matters more than the feature: named hardware without usable datasheet radio data is planned generically and disclosed as such — never assigned fabricated numbers. A tool that quietly invents a plausible figure for a radio it does not know produces a design that looks finished, specifies somebody, and is wrong where nobody looks.
- Datasheet-driven AP radio specs (IEEE 802.11ax, IEEE 802.11be)
- Hardware without usable datasheet data is planned generically AND disclosed — never given invented figures
- Per-band heatmap exports in 2D and 3D, so band-specific behaviour is visible rather than averaged
Where the numbers come from
- Radio specs
- the published datasheet
- No data
- generic, and labelled generic
- Never
- a fabricated figure
- Output
- per-band, 2D and 3D
DFS and 6 GHz
The bands your newest radio sells on
Channel planning covers DFS eligibility and 6 GHz channels, applied against the regulatory frame rather than a simplification of it. If your advantage is a 6 GHz radio or a better DFS story, it shows up where the design is decided instead of on a comparison sheet nobody opens at bid time.
- Channel planning with DFS eligibility and 6 GHz channels (AFC availability is not evaluated yet)
- Regulatory grounding: 47 CFR 15.407, FCC 14-30, ISED RSS-247, ETSI EN 300 328
- AP auto-planner with per-zone RF parameter overrides and per-zone redundancy planning, which discloses spare AP counts

ITU-R, not a fudge factor
Propagation your engineers can argue with
One predictive propagation engine feeds the heatmap, the planner, the walkthrough and the remediation — so there is a single calculation chain to interrogate rather than four that disagree. Path loss, diffraction and material reflection follow published models, and wall attenuation is per material and per band.
- Standards-based path loss, diffraction and material reflection (ITU-R P.1238, P.526, P.2040, P.1411)
- Multi-edge diffraction by the Deygout method per ITU-R P.526 §4.5.4, alongside knife-edge and UTD
- Per-material, per-band wall attenuation (NIST IR 6055)
- Field calibration — measured versus predicted RSSI correction — and deterministic walkthrough remediation with no AI in the calculation

Named standards, and the one approximation
Every claim here maps to a shipped capability. Antenna shape is parametric rather than imported, and that is on the board rather than in a footnote.

Wi-Fi OEM questions
Do you import our antenna radiation pattern files?
Not today, and for an antenna vendor this is the answer that matters most. The model uses the gain and beamwidth in each product record rather than a pattern file, and an access point with no beamwidth on file is modelled equally in every direction; the design proposal and site plan set say which applies. Two numbers are not a radiation pattern, and you know that better than anyone reading this page — so it is stated here rather than left for you to discover. Everything else on this page is computed from your published specifications.
How is our AP modelled if the datasheet is thin?
Generically, and labelled as such. The rule is explicit: named hardware without usable datasheet radio data is planned generically and disclosed, never assigned fabricated numbers. That protects you more than it protects us — an invented figure in a design is a specification decision made on a number nobody can source.
Does a 6 GHz or DFS advantage actually show up in the design?
Yes, with one caveat. Channel planning covers DFS eligibility and 6 GHz channels, grounded in 47 CFR 15.407, FCC 14-30, ISED RSS-247 and ETSI EN 300 328; AFC availability is not evaluated yet, and a plan is applied, not reverted. The planner also supports per-zone RF parameter overrides and per-zone redundancy planning, which discloses spare AP counts.
Can we measure a site to validate the model?
Field calibration corrects predicted RSSI against measured values, so a model can be tuned to a real building. What is not built: measured survey capture from dedicated hardware, and RF spectrum analysis. Site data is entered or predicted, not captured from measurement equipment — if measurement is the requirement, a dedicated instrument remains the right tool.
