Free terrain-aware RF planning · In the browser

The whole RF picture, before you build.

A free RF planning tool. Drop nodes on a map — Airendil pulls real elevation along every path and models your network end-to-end: coverage heat maps, link budgets, Fresnel zone clearance, line of sight. Right in the browser, nothing to install.

01 — CAPABILITIES

One propagation model, three views of it

Point-to-point, multi-hop path, or a whole coverage area — the same terrain-aware model behind each.

Area coverage

Terrain-shadowed heat maps

Per-node signal coverage swept with knife-edge diffraction — valleys attenuate the way the real world does, not a flat circle.

Point-to-point

Fresnel & line-of-sight, on real ground

Every link checked against a live elevation profile: FZ1 clearance, the critical obstruction point, and a clear / marginal / blocked verdict.

Link budget

Margins you can defend

FSPL, Okumura–Hata or diffraction models, antenna gain, cable loss and Rx sensitivity — rolled into a per-direction margin in dB.

Antennas

Per-node antenna modeling

Height, gain, 3 dB beamwidth, heading and F/B ratio — each node its own, with an on-map cone and tap-to-aim heading picker.

Elevation

Pick your precision

Six elevation sources, from no-key global datasets to ~1 m USGS LiDAR. Switch anytime — only dirty links re-fetch.

Multi-hop

Whole paths, one cross-section

Chain nodes into a path and analyze it as one continuous terrain profile across every segment.

02 — WORKFLOW

Built for ease of use

No import wizard, no separate elevation lookup — it all happens in the same view.

Interop

KML in, KML out + PDF reports

Full sessions travel as KML, ready for Google Earth. Printable site-survey PDFs come straight from your session.

Sync

Cloud save, optional account

Sign in to keep sessions and settings across devices — or skip it entirely and the tool still works.

Field use

Built for the truck

Address search, a distance-measuring tool, and a mobile layout tuned for one-thumb use on site.

Run your first link in the next two minutes.

Completely free — no install, no account, no trial limits. Paid tools charge thousands for this; Airendil doesn't.
