12. 4. RADIOGIS
• RADIOGIS is integrated in ArcView as an additional toolbar.
• Software Requirements:
– Windows PC.
– ArcGIS Desktop Basic license ArcView 8 or 9 with the extension
Spatial Analyst.
Esri European User Conference | Madrid, Spain 12/26

13. 4. RADIOGIS
• Basic Functionalities:
– Power, electric field or power density coverage.
– Propagation models:
• Rural environment: UITR-1546 and UITR-526.
• Urban environment: Hata, COST231 and Xia-Bertoni.
• Indoor: Ray tracing and UTD.
• Other: programmable by the user, only for urban and rural environments.
– Percentage over threshold: using a vectorial layer which includes
municipal areas, provincial areas, roads, districts, etc. or with reference
to a polygon, a line or a rectangle.
Esri European User Conference | Madrid, Spain 13/26

14. 4. RADIOGIS
• Limitation RadioGIS works in a local mode.
– It is necessary to install ArcGIS Desktop in each PC to use
RadioGIS.
• Need A tool that works in a remote mode.
– Students will be able to perform their lab practices anywhere.
• Solution ArcGIS Server.

16. 5. ArcGIS Server
• Ability to create, manage, and distribute GIS services over the Web
to support desktop, mobile and Web mapping applications.
• Allow us to transform the maps, data, and GIS tools used in ArcGIS
for Desktop into fast, reliable Web services that you can use
anywhere It fulfills our needs.

18. 6. RadioWeb
• Development Environment
– Programming Language: Java, thanks to ArcGIS Server provides
capacity to create customized applications in this language.
– IDE: Eclipse + ArcGIS plug-ins.
– Web Server: Apache Tomcat.
– Supported Web Browsers: (Javascript must be enabled)
• Mozilla Firefox.
• Internet Explorer.
• Chrome.
– Map
1) Create the map in ArcMap.
2) Published it in ArcCatalog as an ArcGIS service. It will be served
by a GIS Server.

• Functionalities:
TASK DESCRIPTION
Identify Features Get more info about a feature on the map
Measure Measure distances or areas
Allow to create new BTS just selecting a point from
Create New BTS
the map.
Add/delete to/from the map the BTS selected by
Add/Delete BTS
the user.
Perform the Power Coverage Calculation in an
area selected by the user. Before the calculation,
Calculate Coverage
the user has to fill in all the radioelectric
parameters.
Add/delete to/from the map the coverage selected
Add/Delete Coverage
by the user.

21. 6. RadioWeb
• Power Coverage Calculation Example
– Create a base station on the map
Esri European User Conference | Madrid, Spain 21/26

22. 6. RadioWeb
• Power Coverage Calculation Example
– Fill in the “Radioelectric Parameters” form
EIRP = 50 dBm
Sensibility = -82 dBm
Ht=10m
Hr=1.5m

25. 7. Conclusions y Future Lines
• Conclusions
– A tool able to perform radioelectric calculations via Web has been
introduced.
– RadioWeb is based on ArcGIS Server (ESRI) and is implemented
in Java.
– Thanks to RadioWeb, students will be able to perform their
practices anywhere.
• Future Research Lines
– Add other propagation models (urban and indoor env.).
– Include other RadioGIS funcionalities (percentage over threshold,
power density and electric field calculation and profiles calculation).
