Is it possible to solve the DAS-F (Distributed antenna system flow) using GAMS?

I have read the paper Mathematical Modeling for Optimal Design of In-Building Distributed Antenna Systems by Lei Chen and Di Yuan, where the authors propose two models to solve the problem of optimal design of in-building distributed antenna systems.

The first model is a flow formulation called DAS-F and the second is called Multi-tree formulation DAS-MT.
I started wondering whether or not the mathematical models could be solved by using GAMS.

Is it possible? Are there any codes in GAMS that look alike?

Both models are mixed integer linear programs and hence it should be easy to formulate these in GAMS. They also talk about preprocessing steps. I did not read this carefully but usually some algorithmic work can be nicely accomplished by GAMS' procedural language elements (https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_FlowControl.html).
