Key benefits

  • Understand & exploit your EM environment

    Understand & exploit your EM environment

    Enforcing spectrum regulation and ensuring license condition compliance is a challenge. However, real-time spectrum monitoring allows regulators to actively monitor, detect and investigate instances of non-compliance. By identifying unauthorized users or those violating spectrum usage rules, you can ensure fair spectrum usage, take enforcement actions, or issue fines—a significant source of earnings for regulatory agencies.

  • Measure spectrum occupancy

    Measure spectrum occupancy

    With ever-increasing demand, the spectrum is heavily congested. Regulators face the huge challenge of ensuring spectrum occupancy is as efficient as possible. By using CRFS’ spectrum monitoring and automated software solutions, regulators can gain insights into who is using what frequency band and when. This facilitates the regulator’s task of monitoring spectrum occupancy and designing spectrum policies. 

  • Police & manage major events

    Police & manage major events

    Major events such as the Olympics and state visits create unique spectrum challenges. Regulators must ensure that security agencies and broadcasters do not interfere with local frequencies and that events run to plan with broadcasting rights observed. CRFS provides fixed and mobile spectrum monitoring solutions (for interference hunting and 2D/3D geolocation) to manage risks and ensure major events run safely and seamlessly.

  • Identify new revenue opportunities

    Identify new revenue opportunities

    Smart spectrum monitoring provides regulatory agencies with a dynamic and up-to-date understanding of the spectrum environment. This knowledge helps make informed decisions about spectrum management, including spectrum licensing, spectrum pricing, and spectrum auctions. By using RFeye Mission Manager, automated spectrum monitoring software, regulatory agencies can optimize spectrum use, enhance the efficiency of spectrum allocation processes, and maximize the economic value of the spectrum.

  • Interference hunting

    Interference hunting

    Rapid time to resolution is critical when it comes to resolving interference issues. The nirvana is predicting and being able to react in real time. CRFS’ solutions give regulatory authorities the tools they need to detect, identify, and geolocate unwanted emitters and interference sources. A unique mixture of traditional and novel techniques can be achieved with the RFeye ecosystem.

  • Meet OPEX & CAPEX challenges

    Meet OPEX & CAPEX challenges

    As government agencies, regulatory bodies are under pressure to do “more with less,” both in terms of budget and personnel. However, CRFS solutions align well with reduced OPEX budgets as fewer receivers are needed to provide equivalent coverage, and they use novel data collection techniques to provide data from mobile platforms. Moreover, CRFS solutions’ high levels of automation and zero annual recalibration directly impact CAPEX.
