Although the huge progress in Telecommunications area in the last years, part of Brazilian population still does not have access to any communication system. In order to provide a solution for this scenario, CPqD is developing a system based on Ad Hoc wireless network to provide voice and data services for this part of Brazilian population. This paper describes the estimated market, benefits and requirements of this system. Reference architecture model and protocol architecture are proposed for Ad Hoc wireless network. It is also described a testbed, which has been designed for Ad Hoc network performance evaluation.
