The Last Hundred Metres

Five Years of Measurement Partnerships on Millimetre-Wave Path Loss at the School of Continuous Improvement

The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021–2026 sets 1.38 million path-loss readings on short radio links against the planning models its collaborators used to predict them, across a seven-laboratory comparison of building materials, platform walks beneath small radio units, rooftop links paired with weighing rain gauges, and a year of weekly measurement through a street-tree canopy. It reports the setting each collaborator changed and kept, from a leading-indicator rerouting rule to a status-board state for links not yet tested by rain and a seasonal foliage allowance in place of a fixed one.
