The Samoa Savai’i Faasaleleaga (FAASALMESH) – Management Systems Tools and Performance Architecture Analysis

ABSTRACT

This paper provides a description of the FAASAL Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) management systems tools, performance architecture and analysis. Firstly, it introduces the developed architectural engineering design of the FAASAL IEEE.802 a/b/g/n indoor and outdoor test-bed deployment for testing simulation and physical operation. The test-bed developed design includes its management infrastructure tools specification for operational control, performance architectural and analysis. The main task of the FAASAL WMN is to satisfy four conflicting requirements from different user groups including: the Systems Administrator, Systems Research and Development, Ubiquity Broadband Internet Users and Organisational Strategic and Operational Management. The FAASALMESH introduces a complete management infrastructure and components including: (1) Configuration Tools;  (2) GHz Spectrum Management hardwarearchitectures:ARM,MIPSandx86; (3) the BackTrack Linux architectural Operation System,(4) The Spectrum Analyzer Wi-Spy  2.4i entry-level 2.4 GHz;  (5) A FAASALMESH unique Authentication Infrastructure which uses the FreeRADIUS tool; and finally (6) the FAASALMESH introduces a unique internetwork aspect by realising the importance of the network as a business. The FAASALAMESH uses the two SAP Business Intelligence (BI) software platforms including: theBusinessObjects and the BusinessObjects RDS.
