Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems relating to narrow beam communications and wireless networking are disclosed. Exemplary methods for wireless networking and communications may include identifying a geographic area, receiving topography data related to the geographic area, analyzing the topography data, identifying a first line of sight path related to a first access point location and one or more customer premises device locations based at least in part on the analyzing, and identifying a second line of sight path based at least in part on a predetermined amount.

21. A method for wireless networking and communications, comprising:
-
identifying a signal inhibitor in a geographic area; determining a location of a first component in a wireless network based at least in part on identifying the signal inhibitor in the geographic area; determining a first line of sight path from the location of the first component; and determining a characteristic of a narrow beam communication from the first component based at least in part on the first line of sight path and the signal inhibitor; and adjusting an antenna of the first component related to the narrow beam communication based at least in part on determining the characteristic of the narrow beam communication. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
