Files in ICS Telecom Generally 2 types of file: 16-bit raster file 8-bit raster file
Vector files Station Files
DTM, Best server 16bit, Town raster (*.geo, *.ic2) Map image, clutter, coverage results, most other coverage raster results, Polygon masks (*.img, *.sol, *.ic1, *.fld, *.ift *.blg, *.fdw, *.fdu, *.plg) Coma delimited file (*.csv, *.vec) Custom file unique to ICS Telecom and HTZ Warfare (not backward compatible) - *.ewf
Vectors and Rasters •
Two types of vector –
Polygon vector
(area, county, required service area)
–
Polyline vector
(line, road, railway)
