4 WISPAMERICA I MARCH 4 - 7, 2024 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 1 Regulatory Solutions, Inc. (RSI) recently announced two enhancements to SignalQual, a high-performance RF propagation tool for network planning, management and documentation. SignalQual now includes 3D building elevations and footprint data at two-foot resolution, along with 10-meter clutter data for improved accuracy compared to standard 30-meter clutter datasets. RSI also uses manufacturerspecific antenna pattern files for pointto-point path studies. Unlike LIDAR-based applications, which can only identify a serviceable address when there is a clear line of sight, SignalQual considers the surrounding terrain and clutter — including type and height — in the propagation path. The result is a powerful tool that provides instant access to location-specific service availability data, eliminating the need for callbacks and technicians. What’s more, RSI uses comprehensive address data from the BDC Fabric to ensure that every address is vetted and RF-qualified for the most reliable service predictions. “Thanks to the public funding for the BDC Fabric data, we’re now capable of offering this industry-leading tool with built-in addressing functions matching the BDC Fabric to your current billing system,” said RSI president Brian Webster. “We’re excited to see how it will help our clients improve their operations and provide better services to the end-users.” SignalQual ultimately streamlines WISP operations, elevates the customer experience and optimizes service delivery. “The sales process becomes considerably more efficient with our tool,” added Webster. “We’re talking about allowing WISPs to close sales during the first customer call. Our high-resolution data lets you know if you can service a specific address and at what speeds.” SignalQual also leverages SelfQual, which is RSI’s self-qualification tool. This feature enables potential customers to verify service availability quickly and easily by entering their address or pinpointing their location on a map. SelfQual saves time and improves the customer experience through self-service. Of note, RSI customers benefit from competitive pricing. SignalQual is free for customers who use RSI’s services to file FCC broadband Data Collection (FCC) reports. “We understand the financial conservativeness and technical adeptness of WISP owners,” Webster concluded. “Our tool is designed to deliver high value and robust data at a reasonable price point, supporting WISPs to maximize their operational efficiency while minimizing costs.” J RSI Releases Key Updates for SignalQual RemoteWinBox Unveils CompassWiFi Package for Managing Home Networks Admiral Platform (RemoteWinBox), a software provider for centralized MikroTik management, released its new-look managed WiFi web app. Dubbed “CompassWiFi,” this full suite of home network management tools offers streamlined, full control and visibility into the home network platform.
