Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus wherein network nodes such as macrocell RANs, small/micro cell RANs, Wi-Fi Access Points (APs) and the like are modified to include a velocity sensor configured to determine if any GPS-perceived location change is accurate and, if not, to avoid or inhibit invoking restart/initialization of the network node normally invoked in response to the change in location of the network node.

Abstract: A configuration management resource receives wireless coverage information indicating a desired wireless coverage to be provided by a new wireless network in a selected geographical region. The configuration management resource retrieves network infrastructure map information and corresponding at least one image to produce the proposed wireless network installation plan. The network infrastructure map information indicates locations of available physical infrastructure to support installation of wireless access points. In addition to analyzing the network infrastructure map information, the configuration management resource also analyzes supplemental image information (such as including one or more images) of the available physical infrastructure to determine corresponding supplemental attributes of the available physical infrastructure.
