Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for dynamically optimizing a Flying Ad-Hoc Network (“FANET”). A server that manages the FANET can receive information relating to the network activity of user devices connected to the FANET. Examples of the type of information included can include the user devices' locations, network connection quality, and network traffic volume dedicated to a Unified Endpoint Management (“UEM”) system of an enterprise. The server can analyze the network activity information based on a set of rules to prioritize the user devices connected to the FANET. The server can instruct unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”) in the FANET to reposition themselves to provide the best connection for higher priority user devices.
