First Claim
1. A method for analysis of a wireless communications network comprising:
- defining a map of a physical environment integrating communications hardware for implementing a wireless communications network;
defining client service requirements and regions for the wireless communications network;
defining at least one of mesh point constraints and mesh linkage constraints for the wireless communications network;
placing the communications hardware on the map at initial locations; and
calculating whether at least one of the defined mesh point constraints and mesh linkage constraints have been met by at least one link between communications hardware based upon the initial locations of the communications hardware in the communications network.

Abstract
A system and method for analysis of a wireless communications network is disclosed. A map of a physical environment integrating communications hardware for implementing a wireless communications network is defined. Client service requirements and regions for the wireless communications network are defined. Mesh point constraints and mesh linkage constraints for the wireless communications network are defined. The communications hardware is placed on the map at initial locations. Whether at least one of the defined mesh point constraints and mesh linkage constraints have been met by at least one mesh link between communications hardware based upon the initial locations of the communications hardware in the communications network is calculated. In one embodiment, the at least one calculation is displayed as a visualization on the defined map.
