Mini FAQ:
Q: Why do I need ProSoft Technologys RadioLinx Calculator?
A: If youre installing a wireless network and are unsure whether your selected hardware is adequate or not, then this app should prove to be a free, valuable tool. This app will calculate the theoretical RSSI (signal strength) between the two sites youve entered. From the returned data, you will know whether you need a stronger antenna or transmitter, higher antenna placement, etc.
Q: Is the RadioLinx Calculator the same as ProSoft Technologys free "ProSoft Wireless Designer" that is used on PCs?
A: Although many of the calculations are the same, ProSoft Wireless Designer (PWD), is a true wireless designer that generates a complete Bill of Materials. More information on PWD can be found at:
