Hello Gino, I know our Product Manager responded privately to you and we’ve exchanged emails in the past, but I want to provide the answer for the rest of the group and to seek feedback.
The noise floor in the link budget is not set statically to –95 dBm. It is actually calculated based on average temperature at the location, the selected bandwidth, and the receiver noise figure. This is the thermal noise floor for the receiver to give it a more accurate description. The intent with the interference loss value was to allow users the ability to define additional noise above the thermal noise floor. What we are discussing internally is to rename “Interference Loss” to “Noise Floor Override” and replace the calculated (Thermal) Noise Floor with the override value if it is greater. This would allow a higher value to be specified when you know the noise floor at the radio location. My question for the group, how often do you know the noise floor in a location that you would be planning in our tool? Just to also quickly introduce myself, I am responsible for Product Solutions at Mimosa. To be more specific about what this means, my role is a combination of engaging with the WISP community to understand your needs and feeding this back into our roadmap, plus working with you to ensure that you are getting the most out of our products. Please keep the feedback coming, we’ve been grateful for the well thought out questions and suggestions coming our way. There is a feedback capability built right into the design tool (lightbulb icon in the lower left).
