Microwave Link Calculator
This tool helps telecommunications engineers calculate and optimize microwave links. It provides precise distance, azimuth, and elevation computations, antenna configuration, and integrated mapping for accurate outdoor equipment placement.
- Precise distance, azimuth, and elevation calculations
- Fresnel Zone computation
- Antenna down tilt and azimuth determination
- Antenna gain and received power prediction
- Integrated Apple Maps view
- Obstacle simulation for elevation profiles
- Compass with haptic feedback

Microwave Link Calculator: plan point-to-point microwave links in minutes Built for telecom and transmission engineers, Microwave Link Calculator turns two site coordinates into everything you need on the tower: distance, azimuth, tilt, Fresnel zone, terrain profile and expected receive level. It works with links from any vendor, such as NEC Pasolink, SIAE, Ceragon, Ericsson MINI-LINK and Huawei. NEW IN THIS UPDATE ⢠Site library: import your sites from a CSV or text file, paste a list, or add them one by one. ⢠GPS autofill: start typing a site name in a link and pick it from the suggestions. Its coordinates are filled in for you, and you can still edit them. ⢠Map crosshair: move the map under the crosshair and tap to place a site exactly where you want it. ⢠Redesigned link form: Site A and Site B side by side, one "Set" button per site (pick on map, current GPS or paste coordinates), and quick + / ā buttons for antenna height and Tx power. ⢠Smart checks: warnings when antenna efficiency is outside 0.5ā0.8 or both sites have the same name. ⢠Elevation profiles for links of any length, including links over 100 km. ⢠Available in 13 languages. LINK CALCULATIONS ⢠Distance, azimuth and tilt (up/down) between the two sites. ⢠Fresnel zone and terrain elevation along the whole path. ⢠Antenna gain and expected received power in free-space conditions, based on frequency, Tx power, antenna diameter and efficiency. ⢠Antenna height above sea level for each site. ⢠Metric or imperial units (m / ft, and m / ft / in for antenna diameter). MAP AND FIELD TOOLS ⢠See your link on Apple Maps with standard, satellite or satellite-with-roads styles, and line it up with nearby landmarks. ⢠Add obstacles such as new buildings or trees and see them on the elevation profile. ⢠Built-in compass with haptic feedback for precise azimuth alignment when you're on site. ⢠Pick a site by tapping the map, using the crosshair, or searching for a place. YOUR DATA, EVERYWHERE Links and saved sites are stored on your device and synced through iCloud, so they're ready on all your iPhones and iPads. Some features, such as the elevation profile, obstacles and the compass, require a Pro subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MINI at none against Microwave Link Calculator's 10. MINI also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
