Preemptive radio energization based on network demand

A network traffic processing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
• a lower-power transceiver;
• a higher-power transceiver;
• and
• a demand-based optimization logic, configured to:
• establish a wireless connection to an external device;
• transmit to the external device:
• configuration data associated with the device;
• and
• demand data indicating at least one application and associated with at least one of a plurality of client devices;
• receive a demand-based power configuration, wherein the demand-based power configuration is generated in anticipation of an upcoming scheduled traffic-related event;
• and
• adjust the higher-power transceiver based on the demand-based power configuration.

A method, comprising:

• selecting a floorplan for demand-based optimization;
• determining a plurality of access points associated with the selected floorplan wherein the plurality of access points have an output power associated with a signal transmission;
• identifying a plurality of client devices located within the floorplan;
• assessing one or more network-based demands of the plurality of client devices by parsing demand data indicating at least one application for an upcoming scheduled traffic-related event;
• generating a demand-based power configuration for the floorplan in anticipation of the upcoming scheduled traffic-related event, wherein the demand-based power configuration is configured to adjust the output power of one or more of the plurality of access points;
• and
• transmitting the demand-based power configuration to the plurality of access points.
