Developers of the Terrain Analysis Package Software	Winter 2005

News in this issue TAP 6.0 is Shipping HDPath HDCoverage HDMapper TAP Seminar - April 3-4, 2006 Details about TAP RFYellow.com TAP 6.0 is Shipping The newly released version of the Terrain Analysis Package Software (TAP) has far fewer screens to navigate for designing point-to-point studies and wide area coverage. There are essentially two screens to use. HDPath handles all the information for designing individual paths. The other for area rf coverage design is called HDCoverage. For more details on these two approaches click on the links to the right. All current subscribers to a TAP software maintenance agreement will automatically receive the new version. We are presently shipping new maintenance CDs and the accompanying new printed manual. For a limited time you will also be able to continue using your TAP 5 software. All files are presently compatible with both versions. This gives you the opportunity to learn TAP 6 without the immediate pressure of learning a new user interface. The older TAP 5 screens will continue through a few months into 2006, but will eventually be removed. No new enhancements to TAP 5 will be made in the future. If you are not on a current maintenance subscription, please contact Curt Alway at SoftWright by clicking email below and ask him to provide you with a quotation so that you may begin to use this extremely versatile software.

Seasons Greetings from SoftWright! HDPath    HDPath is our completely new rf software for point-to-point path design. Select or key in any two fixed facilities and instantly see the details of the path. Studies such as reflection analysis, antenna heights, path clearances, and shadow studies are all done within this one screen, assuming you have licensed the appropriate software modules. For more information about HDPath click here... HDCoverage    HDCoverage is the easier way to calculate coverage maps for wireless applications.  HDCoverage allows you to access everything you need to calculate an rf coverage map from one screen. All licensed propagation modules may be configured from this screen. On the left side of the screen you have access to the fixed facilities database for transmitting details. On the right side you have access to configure the receiving facilities. You can also graphically select the area on the map where you wish to perform coverage analysis. For more information about HDCoverage click here... HDMapper    Although we introduced HDMapper some time ago, some customers have not fully transitioned to using it to plot their calculated coverage. It is a very powerful presentation tool for your calculated area coverage maps. It employs ShapeFiles which allow you to make multiple layered presentations including such things as street maps, highways, water bodies, railroads and any other information that you may acquire in a ShapeFile format. All users on a current maintenance subscription have already received a large set of ShapeFiles from around the world to be used in your coverage map presentations. We do have a number of other databases such as high- resolution street maps and US Census population data so that you can evaluate your coverage on criteria other than square miles or a certain level of signal.
