RadioPlanner offers the following features:

Work with multiple networks within a single project and view aggregate coverage predictions for maximum throughput and number of servers.
Plan radio network frequencies while considering co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
Display of path profiles with path losses and levels of carrier and interference on the co-channel and adjacent channels.
Perform multipoint study of a group of CPE or IoT sensors (end devices), each with their individual parameters (antenna height, antenna gain, transmitter power, cable loss, and penetration loss) under varying deployment conditions.
Import measured signal power level results for comparison with calculated values and adjust propagation model parameters.
Compare multiple coverage prediction results.
Save coverage prediction results as an interactive web page, KMZ file, PNG image, GeoTiff file, CSV file or as MIF file.
Flexibly adjust base map layers and display custom vector layers.

GIS features:
Default digital terrain model (DTM) with 30m plane resolution, automatically loaded worldwide.
Option to use custom DTM in GeoTiff format.
Default clutter model with nine clutter types, automatically loaded worldwide. Created from OpenStreetMap (www.openstreetmap.org) and Global Forest Change projects.
Option to use custom clutter in GeoTiff format.
Common (e.g., OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, US Topo) and custom base maps.
