RF Line-of-Sight
The RF Line-of-Sight tool allows users to easily drag-and-drop locations and obtain point-to-point line-of-sight information anywhere using Google Maps. This map is useful in planning and troubleshooting cellular networks for IIoT / SCADA monitoring applications. SCADACore’s Industry 4.0 solutions include true 3D HMI / Digital Twin and Web HMI that works over the web.
This free online tool takes antenna height and the topographical formations of the earth to calculate the line-of-sight of a radio path. Note that buildings and other obstructions is not taken into consideration when calculating line-of-sight using this tool.
This RF Line-of-Sight tool is exceptionally helpful in mapping long distance radio communications for remote monitoring applications such remote shutdowns and data acquisition.

How To Use
- The user can select two sites either by dragging them into position or entering the GPS coordinates on the page.
- After the two sites are selected a elevation graph will pop-up showing the elevation from the blue mark to the green mark as well as the distance between the two points.
- A red line indicates a line-of-sight that is blocked while a green line indicates a clear line-of-sight between the points.
- After the initial graph is created, the users will have the ability to modify the graph by specifying heights for the antennas.
- As the antenna height changes, the path will recalculate to determine line of sight.
