Live network mapping endurance test

We conducted a field test in the mountains with SOOTHSAYER focused on automation and endurance. The test generated quality data and revealed altitude issues with our plugin we have since fixed. During the test we created 925 multi-site coverage heat maps and 4625 links to maintain a live map of the network. We previously established model accuracy on previous field tests so the focus here was on endurance. Live network mapping is radio planning without user interaction where radio locations and coverage are updated dynamically via an API. It requires fast and economical edge compute like our SOOTHSAYER API to be effective and is not possible with legacy desktop tools. This offline edge capability is implemented in our ATAK plugin via the Co-Opt feature. This new feature updates network coverage automatically using live map data to provide a current view of communications problems and opportunities, akin to a moving weather layer. It is useful for deploying radio networks into challenging terrain. Full test report: https://cloudrf.com/live-network-mapp...
