Abstract: Various arrangements for updating a device utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are presented. A backend system may detect a triggering event associated with a device based upon data received via a first connection. In response to detecting the first triggering event, the UAV may receive a first data set and a location associated with the device from the backend system. The UAV may deploy to the received location. A second connection between the UAV and the device can be established at the received location. The UAV may transmit the first data set to the device via the second connection at the received location.

Abstract: Various arrangements for managing network channels are presented. A backend system can receive data from one or more data sources. Based at least in part on the data received from the one or more data sources, a triggering event and a location related to the triggering event can be determined. Location data associated with the location related to the triggering event can be transmitted to a UAV and the UAV deployed. While the UAV is deployed at the location, the UAV can relay data between wireless devices, such as cellular phones, and a network access point, such as a cellular base station.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining data indicating an amount of energy stored by a battery of a sensor device; receiving data related to at least one condition in an area in which the sensor device is located; determining a reporting interval based on the data indicating the amount of energy stored by the battery of the sensor device and the data related to at least one condition in the area in which the sensor device is located; transmitting data indicating the reporting interval to the sensor device; and receiving a plurality of measurement reports transmitted from the sensor device according to the reporting interval. The energy consumed by the sensor device can be dynamically modified by dynamically modifying the reporting interval.

Abstract: Various arrangements for autonomous servicing of a network device are presented. A backend server system may receive status data from various devices. The backend server system may determine, based at least in part on the received status data, a triggering event associated with a first device. In response to the determined triggering event, location information associated with the first device may be sent to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV may send security information directly to the first device. The first device may be required to validate the security device, then the UAV may modify a physical component of the first device.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining a value corresponding to a current amount of power output from a solar panel; determining a value corresponding to an expected amount of power output from the solar panel; comparing the value corresponding to the current amount of power output from the solar panel and the value corresponding to the expected amount of power output from the solar panel of the device; and cleaning the solar panel responsive to determining, based on the comparing, that the value corresponding to the current amount of power output from the solar panel is less than the value corresponding to the expected amount of power output from the solar panel by at least a first threshold value
