Remcom Wireless InSite®

Wireless EM Propagation Software

Wireless InSite is site-specific radio propagation software for the analysis and design of wireless communication systems. It provides efficient and accurate predictions of propagation and communication channel characteristics in complex urban, indoor, rural and mixed path environments.

Remcom has a long history as a leading expert and innovator in high-fidelity propagation. We continue to focus on speed and power with Wireless InSite’s ongoing development. With each new release the product performs faster and handles ever more challenging computations.

Applications range from military defense to commercial communications:

  •  Wireless communication links
  •  Antenna coverage
  •  Jammer effectiveness

In addition to enhancements that directly affect speed, new options increase capability and flexibility. In response to the popularity of the Wireless InSite Real Time API, the latest release offers an API to Wireless InSite’s highest-fidelity Full 3D Ray Model as a standard component of the base package. Customers will now be able to develop custom applications that are either geared toward rapid urban propagation with the Real Time API or high-fidelity calculations in urban, rural or mixed-path environments with the Full 3D Ray Model API.

Real Time Module

Remcom’s Wireless InSite Real Time module provides Wireless InSite with a very rapid propagation capability for urban environments.  When used with the Real Time Module, Wireless InSite returns loss results in under a millisecond. Real Time Module calculation times are almost entirely independent of scene size; these almost instant computations allow for coverage of large areas, or for near-real-time simulations of transmitter and receiver networks.

Feature Highlights
