Abstract :
Public protection and disaster relief is a promising application area for ad-hoc networks. We propose architecture and show a prototype implementation of an application for helping network deployment on the scene. The application has a graphical interface showing network status and proposing actions for additional measures to ensure the uninterrupted and reliable operation of the network. The tool is designed for a user with no experience of network planning
