Wirepas Mesh Online Coverage Calculator
Estimate Anchors, Gateways, and Tag Settings in Minutes
This tool gives a quick, first‑pass estimate for infrastructure when deploying CargoBeacon EverTag on Wirepas Mesh. Use it for budgeting and concept validation. For exact designs, request a site survey.
What the Calculator Does
- →Estimates: anchors per zone/floor, gateways, mesh density, and expected update performance.
- →Suggests: anchor spacing, gateway placement strategy, and baseline tag config.
- →Outputs: a rough Bill of Materials (BOM) and exportable summary.
⚠️ Important: Not a final design—radio environments vary. Always validate on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the estimates?
They are suitable for budgeting and planning. Real‑world materials and RF noise can shift counts. Always validate on site for final designs.
Do I need gateways on every floor?
Often yes, for backhaul convenience and traffic distribution. However, your layout may allow shared backhaul between floors.
Can I mix indoor and outdoor?
Yes—treat them as separate zones with different spacing and environmental requirements.
Does higher accuracy always mean more anchors?
Usually. Fine accuracy increases density and requires careful placement. The calculator adjusts anchor spacing based on your accuracy requirements.
Need a Detailed Site Survey?
For production deployments, we recommend a professional site survey to account for your specific environment, materials, and RF conditions.
