Claim:
1. A method comprising: capturing, by a technician device, access point data from an access point, the access point data comprising a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point, a serial number of the access point, model information of the access point, and a picture of an antenna associated with the access point, wherein capturing the access point data further comprises capturing the access data code from a bar code attached to the access point; transmitting, from the technician device, the access point data to a backend server, wherein transmitting the access point data comprises attaching a location information of the access point, the location information comprising a Global Positioning System (GPS) information corresponding to the location of the access point, wherein a control and provisioning of wireless access point (CAPWAP) tunnel is established for the access point with a wireless local area network (LAN) controller (WLC) based on the access point data and configuration information is downloaded from the WLC to the access point, and wherein a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) leased established for the access point is validated based on the access point data; and receiving, by the technician device from the backend server, post-check results corresponding to the access point, the post-check results being based on the transmitted access point data, wherein the location information in the access point data and a radio coverage of the access point, after a confirmation of installation of the access point, is inserted into a topology map comprising a cell deployment area, and wherein the topology map is updated to provide real time progress information to indicate an amount of completion of the radio coverage of the cell deployment area.
