One approach would be to reuse ConstantPositionMobilityModel together 
with ConstantSpeedPropagationDelayModel. But we have to be aware that 
wire lenght in reality is not equal to euclidean distance, because wires 
don't go straight. Hence, using 2-D and 3-D positions (as allowed by 
ConstantPositionMobilityModel) might not make much sense.
