Coverage planning and prediction are integral parts of any broadcast system design as they ensure optimised use of available resources including spectrum, power and equipment.
To this end, JDA operates a purpose built computer database that stores and relates both land profiles and NZ Census information. This system enables us to predict, analyse and graphically display models of radio or television signal coverage from any point at any elevation throughout New Zealand. The 3D output includes coverage maps and path analyses.
These results can also be instantly related to demographic data from the NZ Census database, enabling clients to see their potential signal coverage and analyse it by demographic breakdown on all major Census parameters. |
