  "productLabel": "Open the RF bench",
  "summary": "RADIUS / 90245 is a browser-based free-space RF link bench centered on El Segundo with adjustable path, antenna, noise, Fresnel, capacity, and sonification controls.",
  "body": [
    "RADIUS / 90245 is live as a shareable radio-frequency field bench centered on El Segundo. The browser tool exposes the ingredients of a free-space link budget across a 25-mile local layer instead of hiding them behind a single pass/fail answer.",
    "A visitor can inspect path loss, received power, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, Fresnel clearance, light-time, and ideal capacity, then optionally hear the link as signal audio. The bench is meant for learning, discussion, and early comparison—not licensed engineering sign-off.",
    "The route belongs to the University of El Segundo's public tools layer and gives PointCast a concrete engineering product alongside its games, archives, rooms, and publishing systems."
