| Abstract in different language: | This work describes a large GIS-based environment for the support of planning and design activities in Telecommunications Engineering. This environment supports various activities such as the acquisition of geographic and engineering data, the design of outside plants for telecommunications companies, and the design of wireless transmission systems. To support such activities, the geographic information system must be customized. This paper focuses on tools for the customization of the geographic information system, on the design of wireless transmission systems and on the lessons learned during the development of the whole environment. Among these lessons, we distinguish: (a) workstations are not always the most appropriate platform, (b) the GIS environment might require the implementation of special purpose software modules if acceptable performance is to be obtained, (c) a requirements analysis phase must be concluded in the very beginning if users are to be kept satisfied with the system, and (d) application of methodology to the software engineering process is an absolute must. |
