Outdoor Wireless
Link Budget Calculator
Model point-to-point and point-to-multipoint RF links before you deploy. Estimate received signal, fade margin, and viable range for your outdoor wireless bridge — built by TCG’s manufacturer-certified wireless team.
Know your link will close — before the truck rolls
A link budget accounts for every gain and loss between two radios: transmit power, antenna gain, cable and connector loss, free-space path loss, and fade margin. Get it right and your bridge stays up in rain, wind, and interference. This tool gives you a fast first-pass estimate; TCG’s engineers validate the final design.
Estimate Received Signal
Enter TX power, antenna gains, frequency, and distance to see predicted RSSI at the far end of the link.
Check Your Fade Margin
Compare received signal against receiver sensitivity to confirm you have enough headroom for reliable, all-weather uptime.
Validate Viable Range
Test how far your equipment can reach with clear line of sight — then let TCG engineer and install it right.
