Publication number: 20240365132Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are provided to improve the design and implementation of radio frequency (RF) communication networks. Specifically, these various embodiments improve the likelihood of a successful RF network design by identifying and preferentially utilizing RF transmission sites having a relatively high probability of being successfully incorporated into the RF network. These various embodiments provide a site qualification database that includes site data for a plurality of RF transmission sites. When so implemented, the site qualification database is utilized to analyze the site data and generate a plurality of site scores for the corresponding RF transmission site, which can then be utilized in an RF analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Applicant: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: John Stevens, Amanda Louie, Jon Crofford, Troy Bailey, Mark McGarey, Brad Cole, Kevin Black, Zane Edwards, Michael Frishman

These various embodiments provide a site qualification database that includes site data for a plurality of RF transmission sites. When so implemented, the site qualification database is utilized to analyze the site data and generate a plurality of site scores, with each of the plurality of site scores providing a viability metric for the corresponding RF transmission site. The plurality of site scores is then utilized in rating each of the plurality of RF transmission sites. These ratings of the RF transmission sites are then utilized in an RF analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: DISH Wireless L.L.C.Inventors: Jon Crofford, Amanda Louie, John Stevens, Troy Bailey, Mark Mcgarey, Brad Cole, Kevin Black, Zane Edwards, Michael Frishman

Publication number: 20230337013Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems of virtual site inspections. In some embodiments, a network operator navigates a drone which captures image data of equipment and layout of a site. The image data is processed and used to generate a 3D model of the site. A network operator virtually installs new equipment in the virtual representation of the site, and presents the 3D model of the site, with the new equipment in the proposed location, to a permitting authority. The permitting authority can review the 3D model of the new equipment at the site and approve or deny authorization for the network operator to physically install the equipment at the site. After the new equipment is installed, a network operator can capture image data of the installed equipment at the site to prove to the permitting authority that the equipment was installed at the site according to regulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Mark McGarey, Zane Edwards, Brad Cole, Luis Acuna, David Robinson, Mark Beecy
