Abstract

Methods, products, and systems graphically represent a plurality of end user fixed wireless communication devices. A graphics system receives messages from the end user fixed wireless communication devices wherein the messages indicate operational data. The graphics system then processes the operational data to determine performances for the end user fixed wireless communication devices and diagnose provisionings of the end user fixed wireless communication devices. The graphics system determines geographic locations of the end user fixed wireless communication devices. The graphics system then generates a geographic map indicating the geographic locations and the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising printing a geographic map indicating the geographic locations and the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

in the processor, determining whether one of the end user fixed wireless communication devices is misprovisioned; and

indicating the misprovisioned one of the end user fixed wireless communication devices on the geographic map.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein determining the geographic locations of the end user fixed wireless communication devices comprises determining a latitude and a longitude of each of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising retrieving provisioning information related to the provisioning of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the provisioning information comprises customer information.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein the provisioning information comprises hardware information.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising software for graphically representing a plurality of end user fixed wireless communication devices, the software comprising:

instructions operational when executed by a processor to direct the processor to receive messages from the end user fixed wireless communication devices wherein the messages indicate operational data, process the operational data to determine performances for the end user fixed wireless communication devices and diagnose provisionings of the end user fixed wireless communication devices, wherein the performances comprise power levels and calibration counts of the end user fixed wireless communication devices, determine geographic locations of the end user fixed wireless communication devices, and generate a geographic map indicating the geographic locations and the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the end user fixed wireless communication device is a wireless broadband router.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein sizes of the end user fixed wireless communication devices on the geographic map indicate the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein shapes of the end user fixed wireless communication devices on the geographic map indicate the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein colors of the end user fixed wireless communication devices on the geographic map indicate the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein colors of a geographic area on the geographic map indicate the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

21. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to receive and process a request for selecting one or more of the end user fixed wireless communication devices and display the performances of the selected one or more of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

22. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to display a geographic map indicating the geographic locations and the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

23. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to print a geographic map indicating the geographic locations and the performances of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

24. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to determine whether one of the end user fixed wireless communication devices is misprovisioned and indicate the misprovisioned one of the end user fixed wireless communication devices on the geographic map.

25. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to determine a latitude and a longitude of each of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.

26. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 wherein the instructions are operational when executed by the processor to direct the processor to retrieve provisioning information related to the provisioning of the end user fixed wireless communication devices.
