The Urban Planner is a medium resolution database of accurate and up-to-date terrain, clutter, vectors and orthoimagery.

It allows for accurate propagation modeling, frequency planning and analysis of network capacity and site overlap in the macro-cellular network environment.

The Urban Planner is designed to be integrated with the Region Planner, allowing for integrated planning across inter-urban networks.

The Urban Planner products are supplied in all major RF planning formats.
