The present disclosure is directed to 3-D visualization of wireless signal propagation representing wireless signal strength and interference in 3-D space. The present technology can identify a plurality of access points (APs) in the 3-D space, determine a wireless signal strength for each of the plurality of APs, and determine an interference with the wireless signal strength of each of the plurality of APs, wherein the interference is caused by a neighboring AP of the plurality of APs in the 3-D space. The present technology can further present a 3-D visualization of a wireless signal propagation pattern representing the wireless signal strength from each of the plurality of APs in the 3-D space and the interference from the neighboring AP.

A municipal wireless network includes a base unit having a twist-style electrical plug that mates with an electrical receptacle on a typical streetlamp. Within the base-unit interior is a long-range wireless transceiver, such as that commonly referred to as Wi-Fi. The transceiver is in wireless communication with a central hub that is connected to a server via a wired or wireless phone system. Accordingly, when a base unit is connected to each of the streetlamps within a given jurisdiction, a universal wireless network is established.
