1. A device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining line of sight data representative of a propagation path of a signal between an access point device and a target premises;
in response to a determination that an obstruction is situated in the propagation path and obstructing a line of sight, identifying a type or a density of the obstruction; and
determining a signal strength prediction for the target premises based on the type or the density of the obstruction and according to a signal frequency to be used to communicate with a proposed site of an antenna situated at the target premises.
