Abstract
Aquesta tesi ha explorat OpenWISP com una eina per a infraestructures de xarxa en general i per a Hahatay, una comunitat del nord del Senegal, en particular. OpenWISP, tot i ser una plataforma potent per enginyers de xarxes, presenta complexitats i una corba d'ús no trivial, per la qual cosa, es requeria una comprensió profunda de les necessitats de les organitzacions per avaluar el seu valor. En resposta a aquesta diferència entre l'aplicació a nivell tècnic i les capacitats d'OpenWISP, s'ha desenvolupat una guia que ofereix un tutorial d'aquesta plataforma tot mostrant les seves funcionalitats. A més, un Technical Design Document (Document de Disseny Tècnic) que proposa un mercat de mòduls per a OpenWISP també ha estat el resultat d'aquest treball per la manca observada tant en la centralització com en la naturalesa impulsada per la comunitat d'aquest programari This thesis explored OpenWISP as a tool for network infrastructures in general and for Hahatay, a northern Senegalese community, in particular. Since OpenWISP, while a powerful platform for network engineers, presents complexities and a non-trivial usage curve, a deep understanding of an organisation's needs was required to assess its value. In response to this gap between the technical application and OpenWISP's capabilities, a guide was developed, offering a walkthrough of this platform and showcasing its functionalities. Furthermore, a Technical Design Document proposing a module marketplace for OpenWISP has also resulted from this work from observed lacks in both centralisation and the community-driven nature of this software.
