Management of fixed wireless devices through an IP network

A system comprising:

• a device manager to communicate with devices in a plurality of fixed wireless installations that each receive a broadband connection through a long term evolution (LTE) cellular network;
• and
• a network operations component to:
• store consolidated data relating to the fixed wireless installations and data relating to operation of the LTE cellular network with respect to the fixed wireless installations, the data relating to the fixed wireless installations including data, from gateways in the LTE cellular network, relating to network traffic from the fixed wireless installations,
• reconfigure the LTE cellular network and at least one of the fixed wireless installations to optimize, based on the consolidated data, the broadband connection of the at least one of the fixed wireless installations with respect to the LTE cellular network, and
• determine, based on real-time data received as part of the consolidated data, whether an exceptional event has occurred with respect to the fixed wireless installations, the exceptional event including one or more of:
• unusually low bandwidth available to one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a power outage at one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a failing device at one of the fixed wireless installations,
• poor radio connectivity to one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a base station, in the LTE network, nearing capacity of a radio interface, or
• exceptionally high data usage by one of the fixed wireless installations.

A computer-readable medium containing programming instructions executable by one or more processing units, the computer-readable medium containing instructions to:

• receive data relating to operation of fixed wireless installations, the data being received from a plurality of sources, including the fixed wireless installations and network devices used to implement a long term evolution (LTE) cellular network to which the fixed wireless installations connect;
• analyze the data to determine optimizations to improve the operation of one or more of the fixed wireless installations or the LTE cellular network, the analysis including determining, based on received real-time data, whether an exceptional event has occurred with respect to the fixed wireless installations;
• and
• change, in response to the analysis, a configuration of at least one of the fixed wireless installations and at least one of the network devices, wherein the determined exceptional event includes one or more of:
• unusually low bandwidth available to one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a power outage at one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a failing device at one of the fixed wireless installations,
• poor radio connectivity to one of the fixed wireless installations,
• a base station, in the LTE network, nearing capacity of a radio interface, or
• exceptionally high data usage by one of the fixed wireless installations.
