LinkSight
Instant line of sight and RF planning for WISP installers, pilots, and RF engineers
Brian MillotView profile
Overview
LinkSight is a mobile RF planning app for WISP operators, UAV and drone pilots, Meshtastic and LoRa hobbyists, and RF engineers. It verifies point-to-point wireless viability using global SRTM topographic data to remove guesswork when planning links in the field.
The app calculates line of sight, analyzes Fresnel zone clearance, and provides adjustable above-ground antenna heights and custom frequency inputs. It displays elevation profiles, instant visual LOS and Fresnel clearance verdicts, high-precision GPS pin placement, and can export client-ready PDF reports with elevation and clearance metrics.
Users get on-site, data-driven decisions for link feasibility and deployment planning. By delivering instant calculations and shareable reports from a phone, LinkSight reduces uncertainty before sending crews or flying missions.
LinkSight in a Nutshell
Who is it for?
WISP operators, UAV and drone pilots, RF engineers, and hobbyists needing rapid, data-driven link feasibility on the field.
Problem
Planning wireless links in real world terrain often relies on guesswork and incomplete data. Engineers must verify line of sight and Fresnel clearance manually, often delaying deployments and increasing trips to site. On-site decision making is hampered by lack of precise elevation, GPS accuracy, and shareable reports.
Solution
LinkSight provides an mobile RF planning app that calculates line of sight and Fresnel clearance using global SRTM data, with adjustable antenna heights and frequency inputs. It presents elevation profiles, instant LOS verdicts, and high-precision GPS pin placement, plus exportable PDF reports for client-ready deployment planning.
What makes it unique
LinkSight combines on-device, data-driven LOS and Fresnel calculations with real-time elevation profiles and shareable reports from a phone. It targets niche use cases for WISPs, UAV missions, and hobbyist RF work, offering adjustable parameters and instant field verdicts that reduce return trips and uncertainty.
Use Cases
Verify line of sight on site
Assess Fresnel clearance for links
Plan antenna heights and frequencies
Generate client-ready reports on device
Mark GPS pin placements precisely
Export elevation profiles for docs

Hey everyone! 👋 I built LinkSight because doing RF and Fresnel zone calculations on clunky mobile web browsers out in the field is a nightmare. It’s a lightning-fast, native Android app designed for quick on-the-go terrain analysis for Meshtastic, WISP, and FPV. I’d love to hear your feedback or feature requests!
