Engineering & Design
Today's complex communication solutions often involve multiple technologies from many different sources. Using a rigorous project-based approach, Astib can deliver complete turnkey solutions to meet your requirements on time and on budget.
Astib’s fully engineered communication systems are custom designed to perform to your specifications. These systems are designed so that all equipment will perform together to provide the correct area and application coverage.
Our system designers use radio frequency models, terrain models, and signal propagation modelling software to accurately estimate where radios will work within a defined geographic area. The models help designers choose equipment, equipment locations and antennas, and to estimate how well signals will penetrate buildings. Our designs are backed-up by drive testing and actual field signal level measurements. Designers adjust antenna patterns, add or move equipment sites, and design antenna networks to achieve the required level of performance.

System Design
The design of radio and communication systems needs a solid toolset, technology understanding and real-world experience. Astib’s engineers can design communications solutions drawing on:
- Communications engineering and systems integration expertise,
- An advanced set of simulation and design tools,
- Real-world rf surveys for radio or wireless data surveys,
- Over 25 years of communications experience, and
- Partnerships with leading Australian and international technology providers.
Whatever your requirements, Astib’s engineering team can provide a design that will perform reliably, meet your expectations, and be economical to install and operate. Contact an Astib engineer to discuss your design requirements.
Installation Planning
Planning for radio and wireless network deployment requires a thorough understanding of RF issues such as path loss prediction, coverage mapping, multi-path issues, noise levels, and frequency management. For planned installations, Astib can conduct a pre-installation survey to:
- Plan frequency usage by measuring the level of RF activity already present
- Optimise the placement of access points and wireless links
- Identify sources of interference that may reduce signal quality (cordless phones, bluetooth devices, wireless cameras, etc.)
- Assess likely coverage areas and deadspots
