44. HF Planning Planning of HF systems employing ionospheric propagation
WRAP uses software from the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences in the USA
ITS HF software is accessed from within WRAP
Properties of stations with definitions according to WRAP standards are used
Data is transferred automatically to the ITS codes
The standard installation of the ITS HF software can be used external to WRAP.

46. Point-to-Multipoint Definition of a specific Group: MP Station
Comprises one base station with a number of sector stations. To each of these a number of Clients is associated.
Sector antennas have a fixed azimuth and tilt
Thus not automatically directed towards the clients.
Client antennas are automatically directed in azimuth and tilt towards their sector station
Traffic: Station property Number of Channels
For clients: Defines the traffic requirement of the client
For sectors: Defines the total capacity of the sector station
Total traffic load on a sector station calculated as the sum of the number of channels for each of its associated clients.
