Wireless networks are very useful in mobile services. In particular environments, such as the under-ground Gran Sasso mountain National Laboratories of the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics they represent a vital resource for safety/security/communication. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the design procedure, based on genetic algorithm, which has been used to design the mentioned wire-less network, guaranteeing a high level of performances and reliability.
