1. A network analytics control module comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive an asset location record defining a record of three dimensional location information and corresponding signal quality information for a corresponding beam serving a particular wireless communication asset in an air-to-ground (ATG) network at each recorded three dimensional location;
make a service quality inference for the particular wireless communication asset based at least in part on the asset location record; and
provide an instruction for a network control activity based on the service quality inference.
