WiND - Wireless Nodes Database

Welcome!

WiND is a Web application targeting at Wireless Community Networks. It was created as a replacement for NodeDB by the members of Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (AWMN) located in Athens, Greece. It has evolved into much more as you can see below in the feature list.

WiND is distributed under GNU Public Licence where each piece of code remains under the copyright of their respective author. Everyone can see the source code and everyone can contribute to it. In fact, please do!

Features

  • Supports multiple users and multiple nodes per user
  • User management: different access rights for each job
  • Stores all the node information a Wireless MAN will need: location, height, area, region, backbone & AP interfaces, roof view photos, subnets & hosts in a node etc.
  • Provides an easy (but powerful) way of searching for specific nodes
  • Using NASA's SRTM data, it graphs the Line of Sight (and Fresnel Zone) between two nodes and calculates Free Space Loss for the distance between them
  • Uses Google Maps to show the nodes and their links on the map.
  • Can be used to manage the distribution of IP Ranges and forward/reverse DNS assigned to each node (Hostmaster)
  • Fully themeable interface (using simple (X)HTML templates)
  • Support for localization; Unicode/UTF-8 support
  • Integrates with BIND Nameserver for serving the DNS zones, PowerDNS integration planned
  • A WHOIS server is provided that serves the data using the WHOIS protocol

WiND is written in PHP and uses a MySQL backend for storing the data. Smarty is used as the theme engine.

Demo

There are many working installations by communities that currently use WiND:
