Link indoor and outdoor maps
Can "buildings" be placed on an outdoor map, and then the signals from APs that are inside the building be shown outside? (And vice versa.) I'd like to know if an AP that's indoors will reach an area outdoors. Or, a CBRS radio that's outdoors might penetrate into a building.

Haydn MergedAbility to have multiple buildings within a single project. Ideally with ability to place the building on a Google Maps to see bleed coverage between buildings

Jussi MergedHi Haydn,
Thank you for the suggestion. This would be cooL!
About the "bleedthrough from one building to another": How do you use this information? How does this affect wireless network design decisions? I'd think you can't really rely on "one building to another" coverage, and that RRM would take care of the bleedthru interference the best it can...

Joe MergedJussi,
I've had to design this before in a slightly different scenario. The campus buildings already had existing Wi-Fi, but the ask was to add outdoor coverage, so employees wouldn't drop calls/meetings while traveling between buildings. -

Jussi Kiviniemi MergedHi Joe, got it! Now, personally I wouldn't probably rely on any of the indoor APs to provide any coverage outside.... I'd probably consider the indoor APs "a nice bonus if they add something", but that's it.
So a "clean", separate outdoor design could be my choice. Now, naturally that won't account for CCI coming from the indoor APs, but reducing the channel width and letting RRM handle it might be enough? -

Joey Feci MergedThis would be especially useful in medical environments considering there are usually many buildings surrounding a main hospital. I'm usually tasked with designing them all at the same time. It'd definitely be useful in a reporting situation where I could just spit them all out at the same time. An option to pick which buildings are in the report would be even better. 😉

Luke Jenkins MergedAs the "owner" of a campus, the reason that I want this feature is so that I can minimize the impact that my outdoor APs, which are usually hanging on the sides of buildings, have on my high density indoor network.
I also will sometimes need to optimize roaming paths from inside of one building, across outdoor areas, and into other buildings. -

WDIntersting thought. I deal with golf tournaments and large temporary events where they have multi-level temp buildings. The walls might as well not be there for modeling purposes... except when they are alumnimum panels. I run into similar issues which requires me to create prints of the entire course with each floor being the size of the entire course so that I can get them all modeled.

Kadir Aksakal MergedHi all,
Some of the network projects which are we built have a campus area and several buildings seperated. That time it's hard to see the coverage relation between multi floor buildings, single floor buildings and outdoor coverage of field. Because of that we need area and multi building structure in Hamina. For example, when we create a project, we would like to create sub folders for building project files and install the autocad field site plan to project root folder (by the way it might be a seperate project folder). That time we would install all floor plans to related subfolder. Also, we need to do building alignment to site plan like floor alignment. That time we can see all coverage affects and hamina can correlate the whole wifi data. -
