Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) receive input data defining a geographic area within which to plan a segment of a mesh-based communication system; (ii) identify one or more originating sites within the geographic area; (iii) identify infrastructure sites within the geographic area that are candidates for installation of wireless communication nodes; (iv) obtain data related to the identified infrastructure sites that is to be used for planning; (v) generate a plan for the mesh-based communication system based at least on (a) the identified one or more originating site locations, (b) the identified infrastructure sites within the geographic area that are candidates for installation of wireless communication nodes, (c) the obtained data related to the identified infrastructure sites, and (d) a set of requirements for the plan; and (vi) output the generated plan.

Abstract: A computing platform is configured to: (i) receive input data identifying (a) planned infrastructure sites at which to install wireless communication nodes for a wireless mesh network, wherein each planned infrastructure site is associated with a respective wireless communication node to be installed at the planned infrastructure site and (b) planned interconnections between the planned infrastructure sites that specify a manner in which the wireless communication nodes of the planned infrastructure sites are to be interconnected together via wireless links; (ii) receive template data for defining a deployment plan for wireless communication nodes and wireless communication links; and (iii) based at least on the input data and the template data, generate a deployment plan for the planned infrastructure sites that comprises, for each planned infrastructure site, a respective set of configuration data for the respective wireless communication node to be installed at the planned infrastructure site.
