Abstract: Systems and methods for self-initialization and automated bootstrapping of mobile access points in a network of moving things. A software application directs an automated system for the pre-initialization and provisioning of various elements of a network of moving things by gathering information about network element hardware components, accesses and installs on the network element the appropriate software components, a performs testing of the provisioned network element. Information identifying the hardware, software, and results of testing of the provisioned network element are made available on a cloud-based repository. This enables network personnel and management, and suppliers of the network elements components to track and manage provisioning, performance, and trouble information.
