Abstract
The work deals with the creation of digital maps of the intensity of GSM/EDGE signal on the territory of the Forest Enterprise at the Technical University in Zvolen, Slovakia. Simulation of electromagnetic radiation intensity was calculated using the prediction program TEMS Parcell, based on technical data of transmitters and receivers, as well as attenuation due to the environment. Calculated values were verified in field measurements by means of testing apparatus placed in the measuring vehicle. The output vector layer contains areas categorized according to the suitability of signal intensity for field use with data or voice services.
