Abstract
In an embodiment, a device for determining whether a building unit is capable of receiving a line of sight (LOS) radio service within a service area is provided. The device creates a building units data set based on a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data set for the service area. The device accesses the building units data set and determines whether a rooftop of the building unit can receive LOS radio service from one or more radio transmitters from a set of radio transmitters within the service area. In another embodiment, a method for determining the placement of an antenna on a rooftop to receive LOS radio service is provided. In an embodiment, the building units data set includes data representative of rooftops and their locations for residential or commercial building units.
