First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, a signal quality at a location, wherein determining the signal quality at the location includes determining a highest available radio frequency (RF) signal strength at the location;
determining, by the device and based on the signal quality, whether the location qualifies to receive a fixed wireless broadband service via installation of an outdoor broadband unit;
transmitting, by the device, a notification that indicates that the location does not qualify to receive the fixed wireless broadband service when the location does not qualify to receive the fixed wireless broadband service; and
when the location qualifies to receive the fixed wireless broadband service;
selecting a tier of service for the location based on the signal quality; and
transmitting, by the device, information associated with the tier of service.

Abstract
A device receives an address from a computer terminal; determines a location associated with the address; and determines a current signal quality at the location by referencing a file that represents an area that includes the location. The device further determines whether the location qualifies for a fixed wireless service based on the current signal quality. The device also transmits information to the computer terminal. The information indicates whether the location qualifies for the fixed wireless service.
