Fewer surprises. Less reworking. A clearer route through planning.
A telecommunications query raised late in a project can mean extra correspondence, revised plans and uncertainty over your programme. For new building and wind farm developers, checking microwave links early helps identify issues while there is still room to respond.
GTech helps you establish what needs attention, understand the implications for your proposal and work towards a practical solution.
Start with a free microwave link check
Our free checker gives you a straightforward first indication using available published Ofcom records. Find your site by postcode, then draw your building outline or add turbine positions. You can also enter Eastings and Northings directly.
The checker flags potential second Fresnel-zone overlaps and microwave links within our screening distance. Nearby links appear on the map without link IDs or station details. No email address is required.
A nearby link does not automatically mean interference will occur. It tells you where a closer assessment could help protect your planning programme and the operation of the radio link.

Turn a flagged link into a plan of action
If a link passes close to your site or proposal, GTech can investigate its relevance, model the proposed development in detail and advise on the next steps. That may include confirming information with the operator, demonstrating clearance or exploring proportionate changes to the massing or proposed layout.
For buildings, the detailed assessment considers the footprint and height. For wind farms, it considers turbine positions and the swept rotor area. We can help explain the findings to your planning team and address telecommunications queries with clear technical evidence.
Check before the layout is fixed
Bring telecommunications into the discussion at site selection or early design. Understanding a constraint before submission can help reduce avoidable redesign and give your team a clearer basis for decisions.
