Abstract

Hispanic-American Health Link (EHAS) Foundation provides communication networks and offers information services through those networks to contribute to improve health services in rural zones of Latin American countries, therefore, when it was started implementing EHAS networks it was evident the necessity to have a management system to monitor and control those networks in an adequate way, it means, a system that takes into account that EHAS networks use Wi-Fi, VHF and HF technologies, have low bandwidth, even Wi-Fi links that cover long distances, and additionally that HF and VHF stations do not have connectivity all the time because of the high energy consumption that it implies. This article describes the path that was walked to establish a management architecture for EHAS networks which are a heterogeneous environment, and finally describes the characteristics and uses of the EHAS network management system.
