Abstract We present a short analysis of the prediction quality offered by Radio Mobile application when used for frequency band of TETRA systems in Romania. The simulation results provided by Radio Mobile were compared against own measurements made in multiple locations in Sibiu city. The correlation coefficient between simulated and measured values of signal power was of 0.907 while the maximum variation between data in the strings was 9.6 dB and the average standard deviation was 4.4 dB. These results indicate that the radio propagation model ‘Two-ray Irregular Terrain Model Point to Point’ (ITM) provides a prediction capability that offers a reliable planning of the radio coverage of TETRA systems.
