  • Patent number: 11096018
    Abstract: A message-processing resource receives location information indicating a current location of a mobile device in a network. A user of the mobile device subscribes to use of the network. The message-processing resource maps an identity of the user to a subscriber account and candidate messages associated with the user. The message-processing resource utilizes the location information to identify a message pertinent to the user and the current location of the mobile device. The message-processing resource selects the message from the candidate messages and provides notification of the selected message to the user of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10701626
    Abstract: A connection management resource receives performance information indicating bandwidth availability associated with multiple wireless access points in a wireless network. The connection management resource analyzes the performance information to identify an ability of each of the multiple wireless access points in the wireless network to provide a prospective new user access to a remote network. Based on the analysis of the performance information, the connection management resource produces a notification indicating the ability of each of the multiple access points to provide wireless bandwidth to the prospective new user to access the remote network. Via the notification, the prospective new user of a wireless access point is able to determine what to expect for bandwidth after establishing a respective link with the wireless access point.

  • Patent number: 10368227
    Abstract: A network management application receives input from a subscriber operating a computer device to add a new wireless access point to a network environment. The input specifies a geographical location in which the subscriber requests installation of the new wireless access point in the network environment. The network management application produces a message to include the geographical location as specified by the input. The message indicates that the subscriber requests installation of the new wireless access point at the geographical location. The network management application initiates transmission of the message from the computer device to an aggregator resource at a remote location. A service provider analyzes installation request information produced by the aggregator resource to determine where to install one or more new wireless access points in the network environment.
