IncrEase: A tool for incremental planning of rural fixed Broadband Wireless Access networks
Summary. IncrEase is a planning tool that helps rural broadband operators deploy wireless networks incrementally rather than all at once. The tool analyzes operational metrics to identify which areas should be upgraded first and recommends specific transmission sites to deploy, balancing immediate returns with long-term strategy. Testing on a real network with thousands of towers shows the approach reduces computation time while improving deployment decisions in infrastructure-limited rural areas.
