about=QNetPlanner is a QGIS plugin for GIS-based network planning and spatial optimization. It enables optimal selection of gateways and sensors using integer linear programming with a greedy fallback solver, incorporating terrain, distance, and cost-based decision criteria. Designed for IoT, wireless sensor networks, and infrastructure planning, the plugin integrates seamlessly with QGIS workflows. Future releases will extend the platform with radio-frequency simulation and advanced decision-making intelligence.
