Summary:A telecommunications network (70, fig.1) comprises a plurality of vehicles 250, 280, 330 each including a telecommunications device. A network controller (10, fig.1) comprises a network configuration database (20, fig.1), containing data representing the configuration of the network (70, fig.1); an assets database (30, fig.1), containing data representing planned movements of each vehicle 250, 280, 330 and data representing parameters for acceptable variation in a route 260, 290, 350; and an information exchange requirement (IER) database (40, fig.1), containing data representing expected future network loading. An optimisation engine (50, fig.1) is configured to calculate a set of routes 260, 310, 350 for the vehicles 250, 280, 330 that optimises the availability of the telecommunications network (70, fig.1) in the geographic area.
