Summary
Mage Networks uses multi-hop mesh wireless networks to provide broadband Internet access to unserved and underserved areas. In order for these multi-hop networks to achieve the desired performance, strict line-of-sight and link-quality requirements need to be fulfilled. This project aims at developing a software that designs these multi-hop mesh networks, guaranteeing the performance requirements. The key concept behind this software is to utilize the land-cover information provided by the Geographical Information System (GIS) data so as to improve the accuracy of wireless link quality assessment, improving the overall design performance.

Description
Mage Networks uses multi-hop mesh wireless networks to provide broadband Internet access to unserved and underserved areas. In order for these multi-hop networks to achieve the desired performance, strict line-of-sight and link-quality requirements need to be fulfilled. This project aims at developing a software that designs these multi-hop mesh networks, guaranteeing the performance requirements.

Description (French)
Mage Networks utilise des réseaux sans fil maillé multibonds pour fournir un accès Internet à large bande aux zones non desservies et mal desservies. Pour que ces réseaux multibonds atteignent les performances désirées, des exigences strictes en matière de visibilité directe et de qualité des liaisons doivent être respectées. Ce projet vise à développer un logiciel qui conçoit ces réseaux maillés multibonds, garantissant les performances requises. Le concept clé derrière ce logiciel est d'utiliser l'information sur la couverture terrestre fournie par les données du Système d'information géographique (SIG) afin d'améliorer la précision de l'évaluation de la qualité des liaisons sans fil, améliorant ainsi la performance globale de la conception.
