IoT based antenna Positioning System

As we know wireless communication systems work on antennas for reception of signals. It is necessary to properly position the antennas in the direction of transmitter for effective wireless communication .So here we propose an IoT based antenna positioning system that allows for remotely positioning of antennas based over IoT. Here in this system sensors will be mounted on the antenna to detect its direction and its direction will be changed by motors using IoT. When the direction of a transmitting station changes over time, the antenna direction must also be changed accordingly. This system will help in monitoring antenna direction and transmitting new coordinates to position the antenna. This system appropriately positions the antenna accordingly. So basically using this system we can wirelessly position antennas in the desired directions using IoT.
