Techniques described herein utilize a system comprised of a cloud-based communication platform server (CPS), a plurality of fixed location wireless beacons within a geofenced area, and a fleet of user equipments (UEs). Each UE is capable of wireless communication with the CPS over one or more of a plurality of wireless RF networks. Additionally, each UE may also be configured to receive RF transmissions directly from the plurality of fixed location wireless beacons. The system may implement a method for determining areas of poor wireless connectivity within the geofenced area. The method may comprise determining whether a UE has an active connection with the CPS via at least one of the plurality of wireless RF networks. When the UE does not have an active connection with the CPS via any of the wireless RF networks, it may self-determine its location within the geofenced area and store its self-determined location. The UE may repeat the location self-determining and location storing steps on a periodic basis until the UE has re-established an active connection with the CPS. Once the UE has re-connected to the CPS, it may then upload the set of stored self-determined location data to the CPS that was acquired while the UE was disconnected from the CPS.
