To convert other file formats to the "Link Planner Project File" file type, you need software like LINKPlanner or a similar tool.
About LPP files
The .LPP file format usually serves one of two distinct purposes: it is either a wireless link planning project created by Cambium Networks LINKPlanner (formerly Motorola) or a legacy CD/DVD label project used by LightScribe System Software.
In the telecom sector, engineers use .LPP files to design Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) wireless links. Internally, these files are compressed BZ2 archives holding complex terrain, antenna, and configuration data. The main disadvantage is that these files are highly proprietary. Clients and non-technical stakeholders cannot open a .LPP file without installing the heavy LINKPlanner desktop application. Similarly, LightScribe .LPP files are strictly XML documents that store text and image placement for laser-etching discs - a technology that is now practically obsolete, making the files useless on modern hardware.
To share wireless network designs, you should convert .LPP files to PDF for standard viewing, CSV for equipment lists, or KML for Google Earth overlays. For legacy label designs, extracting the raw image to PNG or JPG is necessary to recover the artwork.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LPP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert LPP file to INDD, QXP, PUB, PMD, PM6, PM7, PM8, PM9, PM10, PM11, OMP or P65, you can use LINKPlanner or similar software from the "Wireless Link Planning" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MDI, PUB, PDP, PM4, P65, COMIC, WEBTEMPLATE, PMD, SPUB, INDD, PM5 or QXP files to LPP, try LINKPlanner or another comparable tool in the "Wireless Link Planning" category.
The LPP Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LPP converter.
