Abstract: An antenna alignment system for a directional antenna may include an antenna alignment device to be temporarily mounted to the directional antenna to determine antenna positioning data therefor. The antenna alignment system may also include a technician tool mount associated with the antenna alignment device. The antenna alignment device may also include a technician tool configured to be temporarily mounted to the technician tool mount, and acquire an image looking in a direction outward from the directional antenna.

Abstract: An antenna alignment tool may include a housing to be temporarily mounted to an antenna during alignment. The antenna alignment tool may also include a processor carried by the housing and configured to determine actual position data, actual azimuth data, and actual tilt data for the antenna. The processor may also be configured to generate an earth browser file for displaying on an earth browser a representative antenna pointing directional indicator based upon the actual position data, actual azimuth data, and actual tilt data for the antenna.

Abstract: An alignment system for point-to-point alignment of spaced apart first and second antennas may include first and second end-point alignment kits. The first end-point alignment kit may include a first antenna alignment device for determining the actual position data, and actual azimuth and tilt data for the first antenna, and a first technician tool for communicating the actual position data for the first antenna to the second end-point alignment kit. The second end-point alignment kit may include a second antenna alignment device for determining the actual position data, and actual azimuth and tilt data for the second antenna, and a second technician tool. The second technician tool may receive the actual position data for the first antenna, determine respective target azimuth and tilt data for the second antenna based upon the actual position data of the first antenna, and display the actual azimuth and tilt data for the second antenna.
