摘要： A method includes detecting, by a mobile network interface card (MNIC) using a radio frequency (RF) signal, network devices of a network, generating, by the MNIC, a report identifying a network device of the network devices as detected by the MNIC, and sending, by the MNIC, the report to the network device. The method further includes forwarding, by the network device using the network, the report to a backend, identifying, by the backend, a physical location of the network device, and determining, by the backend, an approximate physical location of the MNIC based on the physical location of the network device.
