Data manipulation and visualization apparatus for cellular network planning and operation

Data manipulation and visualization tools for simulating the planning and operation of one or more cellsites within a wireless network include an integrated database of cellsite information such as topographical, architectural, and RF propagation data. The tools retrieve and manipulate this data through graphical user interface software executed by a computing device. Using the graphical user interface, a user may simulate the operational characteristics of a cellsite, such as an antenna adjustment at the cellsite, and view cellsite parameters on a computer screen, such as the resulting RF propagation patterns from the antenna adjustment.
