Abstract
Status of a wireless network is visualized in real-time by collecting data from the network, including locations of the wireless network nodes, and displaying this information in a geographical information service (GIS) such as Google Earth. Node information such as node status may be gathered from nodes by a display node, or may be gathered and maintained by a node controller. Unity scaled antenna models may be used to display node coverage. Updates to network status may be polled by the display node, or by the network controller and pushed to the display node.
