Budget-constrained, Capacitated Hub Location to Maximize Expected Demand-Coverage in Fixed-wireless (Broadband-access) Telecommunication Networks

This paper studies a model of telecommunication network installation by companies in the Broadband-access business, specialized to the fixed-wire case. Under stochastic demand (modeled using scenarios), we maximize expected demand coverage subject to a budget constraint on hub installation, and technological (crane-rain radius, line-of-sight, and limited capacity) constraints at each demand location where a hub is installed.
