A method for determining placement of a wireless, mesh network extender, the method comprising the steps of: establishing a connection with a wireless mesh network comprising a Central Access Point; building (401) a list of points of measurement of signal quality of said wireless, mesh network; outputting (403) a suggestion as to the placement of a new Mesh Access Point on a calculation of potential signal quality derived from said list (401).

An active repeater device including a first antenna array, a controller, and one or more secondary sectors receives or transmits a first beam of input RF signals from or to, respectively, a first base station operated by a first service provider and a second beam of input RF signals from or to, respectively, a second base station operated by a second service provider. A controller assigns a first beam setting to a first group of customer premises equipment (CPEs) and a second beam setting to a second group of CPEs, based on one or more corresponding signal parameters associated with the each corresponding group of CPEs. A second antenna array of the second RH unit concurrently transmits or received a first beam of output RF signals to or from the first group of CPEs and a second beam of output RF signals to the second group of CPEs.

An active repeater device includes a primary sector and one or more secondary sectors, receives a first beam of input RF signals. A first set of analog baseband signals, are generated based on received first beam of input RF signals. The first set of analog baseband signals are converted to a first set of coded data signals and control information is extracted from the first set of coded data signals by decoding only a header portion of the first set of coded data signals without demodulation of data portion of the first set of coded data signals. Based on the extracted control information, the first set of coded data signals are transmitted as beams of output RF signals to remote user equipment. The transmission is independent of demodulation of the data portion within the active repeater device to reduce latency for transmission of the first set of coded data signals.

A search and rescue (from hereon, SAR) optimization/prevention system is set forth, for ensuring the safety and connectivity of people in locations such as but not limited to national parks, hiking trails, mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, and other areas that do not receive (or receive inconsistently) reliable cellular, satellite, or GPS network connectivity. The mesh network system comprises wearable devices used by the person being located, and transceivers responsible for getting a signal from the user to a responder via the bouncing of a signal. Once a signal is received at a designated transceiver, the system may output information about the at least approximate location and condition of the user that transmitted the signal, including the approximate location, time of distress, and other pertinent data, based on information carried in the signal.
