Network design that evolves
toward the optimal
AI-driven multi-objective optimization for microwave transmission networks. From topology to channel assignment — every decision quantified, every trade-off visible.
Greek χάος: emptiness, vast void, abyss.
From χαίνω: to gape, to open.
GAIA’s methodology mirrors the mythological narrative: it begins from nothing, and through gradual refinement and accumulated knowledge, a complex and structured outcome takes shape.
This principle — emergence through iteration — is applied to real-world microwave engineering challenges formulated as complex, multi-objective optimization tasks.
The results foster what we call innovizative practice: innovation through optimization.
From link-level tools to network-level intelligence
Traditional microwave design tools work on individual links. GAIA treats the network as an integrated system — optimizing topology, cost, frequency allocation, and capacity simultaneously.
Full network synthesis
Cost embedded in optimization
Global channel allocation
Pareto-optimal set
Objective, verifiable metrics
Evolutionary design in six stages
Starting from an empty topology, the algorithm iterates through populations of candidate networks — evaluating, ranking, and refining until no further improvement can be achieved.
Site data & existing network
Load geographical database, existing infrastructure, traffic requirements, equipment catalogs, and pricing policies.
Generate initial population
All possible connections enumerated. A large set of random topologies assembled — the raw material for evolution.
Construct each candidate
For every topology: frequency band selection, upper/lower position assignment, channel allocation, and full link dimensioning.
Score fitness indicators
Each network scored on cost, path length, redundancy, traffic compliance, and interference levels per ITU-R.
Pareto sorting & truncation
Non-dominated solutions retained. Dominated candidates discarded. Best-performing configurations carry forward.
Optimized Pareto front
Final generation presents the complete trade-off frontier. Engineer selects the solution matching their priorities.
What GAIA does differently
Every aspect of microwave network design — from topology to lifecycle cost — handled within a single unified optimization framework.
Multi-objective Pareto optimization
Simultaneously minimize cost, path length, interference, and constraint violations. No single-criterion shortcuts.
Embedded CAPEX / OPEX / ROI
Cost is a first-class optimization target — not a post-design check. Tower rentals, procurement, monthly fees, dismantling all included.
Arbitrary frequency band mixing
Freely combine any frequency bands down to individual channel level. Simulate 11 GHz, 18 GHz, E-band, and mixed scenarios.
Full topology freedom
Tree, ring (inner/outer), or mixed topologies. Handles 1+0, 2+0 CP/XP, 4+0 CP/XP, and dual-band configurations.
Future-proof planning
Model long-term demand projections over the full 10–12 year network lifecycle. Simulate capacity expansions before committing.
Verifiable, traceable results
Every outcome fully documented to the link level. Manually verifiable. No black-box outputs — complete audit trail.
Data-driven procurement
Equipment portfolio decisions based on completed designs — not preliminary estimates made before planning even begins.
Optical node analysis
Evaluate the inclusion or removal of any optical aggregation point. Quantify where fiber deployment is most justified.
Scalable to large networks
All algorithms designed for n > 1,000 connections. Arbitrary-sized outer networks handled without affecting runtime.
Every cost component, in scope from day one
Financial efficiency embedded in every design decision — from initial planning through full-scale implementation and operational lifecycle.
Construction and rental fees of towers and base stations
Equipment procurement for existing and newly deployed microwave links
Retuning, polarization switching, rerouting, and reinstallation costs
Dismantling and reutilization expenses
Antenna site rental fees by size and location
Monthly operational costs of microwave links
Structural reinforcement and mandatory tower maintenance
Frequency license fees per band and channel
Under the hood
Built on decades of microwave engineering knowledge, extended with graph theory and advanced numerical optimization.
