A request to activate a service may be received from a user device and a determination may be made as to whether the request is authorized or fraudulent. In particular, a geographical location of the user device may be determined. Whether to activate the service may be determined based on the geographical location of the user device.

Location aware authorization system

Methods, computing devices, and systems that dynamically determine whether a service request is authorized or fraudulent are described herein. A computing device may receive a request from a user device, and a geographical location of the user device may be determined based on a signal received from the user device. A determination as to whether to activate the service or not may be made based on the determined geographical location of the user device.

Networking devices may allow for directed wireless communication. Such devices may comprise a movable antenna within a spherical housing having different ports associated with different positions, and may direct wireless communication beams in different directions to provide access to different zones by moving the antenna. A user may configure a system to prioritize or restrict zones or devices based on criteria. This prioritization may facilitate tiered services among users or devices.

Directional router communication and tracking

Methods, computing devices, and systems that dynamically determine whether a request is authorized or fraudulent are described herein. A computing device may receive a request from a communication device, and a geographical location of the communication device may be determined. User information may be requested, and based on the information and the geographical location of the communication device, a risk value can be calculated. A determination of whether to honor the request may be based on the subscriber risk value.
