  • Publication number: 20220217547
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for effectuating self-installation and device management that may be utilized by end user of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) devices, installation professionals, mobile network operators, etc. to optimally locate and position/orient a 5G FWA device relative to an installation environment, as well as subsequently manage the 5G FWA device. Various guidance can be provided to a user depending on the user's level of experience or familiarity with installation of such devices. Calculations can be executed to determine performance of a 5G FWA device depending on its location/position/orientation relative to elements or structures or obstructions that may impact its ability to effectively connect to/obtain service from a serving cell or network infrastructure. For example, a heat map can be generated to assist with optimal 5G FWA device installation.
