Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide for receive line-of-site (LoS) information obtained by a camera, wherein the LoS information identifies an LoS from a radio site to a potential radio signal receiver location; estimate a signal strength value, for a signal from the radio site, at the potential radio signal receiver location; identify a first type of obstruction in the LoS, wherein a signal loss associated with the first type of obstruction varies by a time of year; modify the estimated signal strength value using a nominal signal loss value for the first type of obstruction, wherein the nominal signal loss value is associated with a different time of year than the time of year in which the LoS information is obtained; and determine whether to qualify the potential radio signal receiver location for an equipment installation for the wireless service based on a threshold signal value.
