Spectrum eXperience Management – SXM
Real-time spectrum intelligence for mobile operators, regulators, and defense organizations
With unmatched precision, real-time insights, and effortless scalability, SXM empowers Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Private Network Operators (PNOs), and Regulators to optimize operations, ensure compliance, and maintain a competitive edge.
Addressing Today’s Spectrum Challenges
The increasing demand for seamless communication and efficient spectrum management poses significant challenges for operators and regulators. Crowded frequency bands, unauthorized transmissions, and cross-border interference disrupt operations and threaten compliance. Traditional tools often fall short, offering incomplete data or requiring labor-intensive processes.
SXM fills this gap, delivering real-time insights, actionable intelligence, and comprehensive solutions to navigate today’s complex spectrum landscape.
SXM Platform
SXM operates as a distributed intelligence platform with three integrated components: autonomous RF sensors, a cloud-based analytics engine, and web-accessible dashboards with REST API integration.
RF Sensor Network: Deploy SXM Outdoor nodes for permanent fixed-site monitoring or SXMGO units for mobile and indoor operations. Each sensor continuously scans configured frequency ranges – 9 kHz to 8 GHz – streaming high-resolution spectrum data to the cloud without manual configuration or on-site processing.
Analytics Engine: Cloud infrastructure processes incoming sensor data through the three-layer AI framework, correlating observations across sensors and time to detect anomalies, identify interference sources, and characterize network behavior. Analysis runs continuously; no post-processing required.
Access Layer: Spectrum Viewer dashboard provides real-time visualization and interactive analysis. REST API enables integration with existing OSS/BSS platforms, security monitoring systems, and custom workflows. All data accessible remotely from any location.
Key Benefits:
Real-time monitoring of spectrum activity.
Scalable deployment for urban, suburban, and rural applications.
Enhanced decision-making with actionable insights.
How It Works:
Deploy Sensors: Autonomous, portable sensors monitor RF activity across environments.
Analyze Data: Real-time analytics identify anomalies and trends.
Take Action: Proactive alerts and insights enable swift resolution of issues, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
Review Results: Interactive dashboards and reports provide a comprehensive view of spectrum performance.
