WiND is Free Software, licensed under the GNU GPL.

WiND is written in PHP and uses a MySQL backend for storing the data. Smarty is used as the template engine.

Supports multiple users and multiple nodes per user
User management: different access rights for each job
Stores all the node information a Wireless MAN will need: location, height, area, region, backbone & AP interfaces, roof view photos, subnets & hosts in a node etc.
Provides an easy (but powerful) way of searching for specific nodes
Using NASA's SRTM data, it graphs the line-of-sight (and Fresnel zone) between two nodes and calculates Free space loss for the distance between them
Uses Google Maps to show the nodes and their links on the map.
Can be used to manage the distribution of IP Ranges and forward/reverse DNS assigned to each node (Hostmaster)
Fully themeable interface (using simple (X)HTML templates)
Support for L10n localization; Unicode/UTF-8 support
Integrates with BIND Nameserver for serving the DNS zones, PowerDNS integration planned
A WHOIS server is provided that serves the data using the WHOIS protocol
