Planning RF links, Meshtastic nodes, or FPV flights in the field usually means fighting with clunky desktop-first web tools on your phone. LinkSight solves this as a native Android app providing instant Line of Sight (LOS) and Fresnel zone calculations. Using global topographic data, it instantly visualizes if terrain blocks your signal. Stop struggling with mobile browsers. LinkSight delivers fast, battery-friendly, and precise RF planning directly to your pocket.
What to expect from an ideal product
- LinkSight is a native Android app that calculates radio line of sight and Fresnel zone clearance on the spot, using real topographic elevation data without needing a browser or desktop tool.
- Whether you are planning a Meshtastic mesh node, a point-to-point RF link, or an FPV drone corridor, LinkSight shows you instantly whether terrain will block your signal before you climb a tower or mount hardware.
- Most LOS calculators are built for desktop first and fall apart on a phone screen. LinkSight is designed from the ground up for Android, so the workflow is fast and usable with one hand in the field.
- The app pulls global elevation data and renders topographic profiles locally, which means calculations are quick, battery consumption stays low, and you are not dependent on a strong data connection to get results.
- Field engineers, radio hobbyists, and FPV pilots use LinkSight to validate link viability on site before committing to an install, saving time and avoiding costly return trips caused by terrain interference.
