Systems and solutions to help manage the increasing complexities of regulating and enforcing spectrum usage
Policy decisions relating to spectrum release, liberalisation and sharing, as well as licence enforcement, should be informed by evidence of actual spectrum use which can only be provided by effective spectrum monitoring. The need to detect and respond quickly to frequency interference (both accidental and deliberate) is essential. The RFeye is increasingly the system of choice for regulatory agencies across the Americas, Europe and Asia. It provides by far the most cost-effective answer to the growing requirement for both real data and real-time interference management.
RFeye hardware can be deployed as fixed remote distributed networks around spectrum critical sites, city centers or any area of interest. Portable and vehicle-based systems are available for wide area data collection and intelligence gathering.
RFeye System Software provides regulators and other spectrum stakeholders with up-to-the-minute information about spectrum usage across licensed and unlicensed bands. This includes spectrum occupancy, violations or mask breakages and alerts about events of interest. Users can track specific bands of interest such as suspected GPS jammers, Tetra interference, ISM band usage and GSM/UMTS/LTE band coverage. This information is of value not only to regulatory agencies, but also to network operators, police forces and security services. Advanced mapping software displays detailed maps of spectrum usage from national level down to individual street locations enabling regulators to understand and anticipate “pinch” points and vulnerabilities, monitor compliance, identify and monitor trends over the long term. It is also valuable for license enforcement teams who can carry out background research on a given location prior to any site visit.
