A network analysis capability is provided herein. A network analysis capability supports proactive detection of service troubles in a network by looking at the network from the perspective of the end users. A proactive detection mechanism is provided by having end user devices (e.g., smartphones, computers, and the like) run background applications which monitor for service-impacting problems and autonomously report service-impacting problems when such problems are detected. A background application, before and/or after problems are detected, collects diagnostic information and forwards the diagnostic information to a network for analysis. A network node compiles and analyzes data collected from the end user devices, data collected from one or more network-based data collectors, and, optionally, information from one or more network support systems, to diagnose problems and dynamically respond, potentially before service is impacted.

Method and apparatus for network analysis

A sensor-mounting bracket for supporting a positioning sensor with respect to a camera so that the compass heading and tilt angle of the camera can be determined. To determine the compass heading and tilt angle of the camera, the sensor-mounting bracket is configured to align the positioning sensor with the sight line of the camera. In particular, the bracket is adapted to align the compass heading and the tilt axis of the positioning sensor so that they are parallel with the sight line of the camera.

Sensor-mounting bracket for camera installation procedure

An apparatus in one example has: a public switched telephone network; an Internet Protocol network; migration portal operatively coupled to the Internet Protocol network and to the public switched telephone network; and the migration portal having an information converter, the information converter having inputs for receiving public switched telephone number related information that is utilized in the public switched telephone network, and having outputs for providing Voice Over Internet Protocol telephone number related information that is utilized in the Internet Protocol network, the Voice Over Internet Protocol telephone number related information being a function of a predetermined subset of the public switched telephone number related information.
