SXMGO addresses these challenges with a single, portable solution that supports multiple RF inputs, flexible power options, and cloud-based analytics. It can be deployed for continuous monitoring or used in walk-through surveys providing consistent, multi-band insight without the need for multiple tools or complex setup.
Spatial Diversity Without Reconfiguration
SXMGO supports four independent RF inputs, enabling sequential scanning across antennas positioned across rooms, floors, or zones. Multiple locations are captured in parallel no RF switchers, no site visits, no downtime. This delivers comparative insights into signal strength, channel occupancy, and interference across an entire facility in a single session.
Multi-Band Testing with Zero Manual Effort
SXMGO enables flexible multi-band RF testing without the need for physical reconfiguration. The system can be configured to scan across multiple RF inputs and frequency ranges, supporting a wide range of wireless technologies including cellular and non-cellular systems using the same device.
Measurement modes and configurations are managed through the SXM Dashboard, allowing operators to switch between different analysis workflows without interacting with the hardware. This simplifies operations and reduces the need for repeated site intervention.
Portable Walk-Through Testing
Designed for mobility, SXMGO fits into a backpack or is carried by hand during on-foot indoor surveys. Battery-powered operation enables room-by-room testing with real-time metrics streamed to a laptop or tablet. Engineers complete a full multi-band survey in a single pass no repeat visits, no setup changes between rooms.
Continuous Remote Indoor Monitoring
Deploy SXMGO in a fixed indoor location for 24/7 RF surveillance. Powered via AC/DC or hot-swappable batteries, the device provides real-time and historical analytics through the SXM Dashboard fully accessible without entering the monitored space. Ideal for secured facilities, compliance testing, and temporary event coverage.
Zero-Touch Remote Operation
SXMGO is fully managed through the SXM Dashboard, enabling remote configuration of measurement workflows and system settings without on-site interaction. With all RF inputs connected and configurable through software, operators can adapt data collection to evolving requirements without revisiting the device.
Solving Key Problems
Characterize, optimize, and protect indoor RF environments with real-time actionable insights.
Antenna Swap Delays
Traditional indoor testing across multiple wireless services may require physically swapping antennas to cover different frequency bands, increasing setup and downtime time. SXMGO eliminates this entirely with remotely configurable RF inputs to keep all required antennas connected, enabling seamless uninterrupted signal capture from the moment the device powers on.
Limited Access to Secured Locations
Many indoor environments such as government facilities, data centers, secure server rooms, and critical infrastructure restrict physical access. SXMGO is deployed once, then configured and monitored entirely via the SXM Dashboard. Teams gain full RF visibility into restricted spaces without the need for repeated physical entry or coordination with security.
Incomplete Indoor Coverage Data
Single-point measurements miss interference and coverage anomalies across floors, rooms, and RF zones. With SXMGO’s spatial diversity capabilities, up to four spatially separated antennas capture RF data simultaneously revealing issues that would remain invisible to any single measurement point and providing the comparative data needed for accurate indoor RF characterization.
