Systems and methods for autonomous spatial and beam configuration of antenna apparatus

A system described herein may provide a technique for the generation of one or more models indicating positions and/or attributes of objects within an environment, such as a warehouse, a facility, a data center, etc. The models may be generated by measuring radio frequency (“RF”) metrics or other metrics within the environment over time. The environment may include mobile antenna apparatuses providing wireless coverage to wireless devices within the environment. The mobile antenna apparatuses may be moved within the environment based on the positions of objects within the environment (e.g., as indicated by the one or more models) and the positions of one or more wireless devices that connect to one or more of the mobile antenna apparatuses.

Determination of distribution of Wi-Fi devices within a local network

A wireless testing system is provided that tests Wi-Fi signal strength of devices of a local network to determine distribution of network devices within the local network. In particular, one or more Wi-Fi-based devices may be located within or near a premises in which a wireless network is present. The devices are configured to automatically connect to a particular test broadcast signal from a modem and provide signal strength data. An application may log into or otherwise access the information obtained by the modem concerning the Wi-Fi signal strength of the wireless devices. The application may analyze the Wi-Fi signal strength information and may execute a recommendation engine to provide one or more recommendations/directions for installing components of the wireless network, such as wireless devices, modems, etc. to improve the coverage of the wireless network and provide a more robust wireless experience for devices within the wireless network.
