Telecommunication network monitoring

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a processor of a hardware device implements a telecom network monitoring method, said method comprising:

• retrieving, by said processor from a plurality of image retrieval devices associated with a plurality of hardware devices connected to a telecom network, images and associated data associated with a transmission location of said telecom network;
• initializing, by said processor in response to enabling virtual network functions and software agents of said plurality of hardware devices, a special purpose communication channel for enabling transmission of a real time video stream comprising said images with respect to said virtual network functions;
• enabling, by said processor in response to a user device being enabled, said virtual network functions;
• locating, by said processor executing a polling software thread, a triggering signal of said virtual network functions;
• activating, by said processor, domain associated image collector software and hardware components for collecting said images for local cache storage;
• collecting, by said processor executing MAC based APIs and out of bound APIs, location and activation sight information via said image retrieval devices;
• collecting, by said processor from a metadata database, object elevation, movement, and abstraction attributes of objects within said images;
• detecting, by said processor based on said object elevation, movement, and abstraction attributes of objects within said images, obstruction characteristics associated with obstruction objects of said objects located within a coverage area of said telecom network;
• mapping, by said processor, said obstruction characteristics with login and disturbance patterns of said telecom network;
• and
• determining, by said processor based on results of said mapping, an alternative transmission location within said telecom network, wherein said alternative transmission location comprises improved transmissions characteristics with respect to said transmission location.

A hardware device comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the processor implements a telecom network monitoring method comprising:
