RF map of Australia

Post by cokebottle » Thu Jul 01, 2010 10:45 am

Just found this cool site which allows you to search by frequency etc & it will show all the users & their allocations overlayed on Google maps!
The Australian Geographical Radio Frequency Map (RF Map) is a site that overlays all registered RF transmitters on top of Google Maps. It is still under development, but works as a proof-of-concept. Currently generic antenna sites are shown with the red RF icon, while mobile base stations are represented by the carrier that operates from the site (often multiple carriers do, but currently the first is chosen when determining the icon). A mouse-over will give you the site's description, and a click will tell you who broadcasts from there, and at what frequencies.
The information page: http://spench.net/drupal/software/rfmap

Great find. Bookmarked both sites. Had a look around my local area. Maps show all sites I know of plus a few more!
Very handy tool indeed.

I'll second that! I notice it is a beta version but even then it is a great tool for us. I've bookmarked & forwarded it on as I can see a lot of people using it, not just for finding licences but also to look at adjacent sites when doing network redesign.

Cheers,


Richard

yeah i had a look this morning, quyite impressive and you can get an idea on where stuff is. the truoble with the SVG viewer on ACMA is it shows you where they are but no roads, mountains landmarks etc. found it quite handy and already answered one of my questions on i site i saw the other day but couldnt find it on acma.
great work
cheers

Hi folks,
Thank you for checking out my site and posting these nice comments! I'm still working on it (most recently the auto-complete code, which isn't quite finished). If you have any specific comments/suggestions/bug-reports/etc, then please don't hesitate to describe them here so I can attend to outstanding issues. Also, if you have any cool areas/filters, then don't forget you can copy&paste the URL (e.g. here) too!

PS: If you'd like to follow development progress, see Oz-wide density/coverage maps, etc, check out the blog (click on the top-left 'spench.net' logo in RFMap, or subscribe to the RSS feed).
