A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for receiving, via a communication interface, line-of-site (LoS) information from a camera located at a radio site in a vicinity of a structure; identifying, using the LoS information, a first potential user location from a plurality of potential user locations within the structure; calculating, using the LoS information, a first signal strength value at the structure's exterior corresponding to an LoS signal path that extends, without obstruction, from the radio site to the first potential user location; determining that the first signal strength value exceeds a threshold signal value associated with a wireless service; and qualifying, responsive to the determination that the first signal strength value exceeds the threshold signal value, the first potential user location for an equipment installation for the wireless service at the structure's exterior.
