DYNAMIC SPECTRUM MANAGMENT

Assess, organize, and optimize RF environments in real-time

Digital Global Systems is a next-gen software platform for wireless deployments that characterizes the Radio Frequency environment across multiple dimensions.

With visibility at the network edge, network operators can de-conflict RF environments, optimize spectrum sharing, and fully realize their 5G ambitions.

SOLUTIONS

Wireless Network Optimization

Radio Frequency spectrum is a finite resource, and the evolution of LTE and 5G have pushed the limits of RF spectrum as a resource.

To support both today’s and tomorrow’s wireless infrastructure, environmental utilization statistics are critical and should be available on-demand and integrated with the network.

DGS CLEARSITE™ technology and software analyze and optimize an array of RF spectrum applications and network operations, all in real-time.

Understanding what devices and services are using the wireless spectrum requires more than just detecting energy in a frequency. It requires a multi-dimensional approach that combines frequency, time, and space with signal characteristics to provide true RF Environmental Awareness.

DGS autonomously determines utilization statistics and quality metrics by radio and by channel in dynamic environments. Suitable channels supporting high reliability and low latency are highlighted, with anomalous activity that could pose security risks identified.

DGS combines an acute understanding of spectrum utilization with user-based policies to help optimize wireless networks and extract intelligence to protect critical infrastructure.

This multi-dimensional perspective of spectrum activity represents a patented, cutting edge technology that establishes the foundation for sensor-based dynamic sensor sharing.

Even the most advanced wireless networks remain vulnerable to intended and unintended interference. Communication signals are easily disrupted by targeting control signals.

DGS detects, characterizes, and locates interfering signals through persistent network visibility and timely processing at the point of intercept.

Network reliability is increased, operational costs are reduced, and mission-critical applications are protected.

Mobile Network Operators are constantly searching for benchmarking of their network performance relative to other operators, but self-collected KPIs and crowdsourced data create an imperfect picture of their network.

Using RF data collected from an interconnected nodal network combined with multiple external data sources, DGS provides a persistent view of relative network performance and provides actionable data for performance remedies.

Next-generation wireless applications in robotics, virtual reality, and self-driving vehicles all have a similar requirement: Access to highly reliable, low latency wireless networks.

The current solution for these applications is to utilize bands allocated to sharing, such as CBRS (3.5 GHz).

DGS improves existing sharing techniques by automatically providing real-time utilization statistics to both spectrum administration systems and to RAN infrastructure components, allowing better resource allocation and more efficient spectrum sharing based on real environmental data.

As small cells begin to dominate the market and tower companies focus on maintaining their market position, placing and optimizing wireless access sites is becoming increasingly complex.

Partnered with infrastructure owners, DGS creates actionable intelligence for a breadth of infrastructure functions: placement assessment, site optimization, interference coverage quality analysis, and competitive intelligence.

By leveraging persistent RF data, DGS effectively automates network maintenance functions and reduces operating costs.

Critical Asset Protection

Advancements in wireless and computer processing have enabled devices to become smaller and more capable. Just as innovation has delivered increased capability, Radio Frequency-enabled devices significantly increase vulnerability and risk.

Cyber and physical security strategies must now include components that address threats from RF-enabled devices.

DGS CLEARSKY™ technology and software alert stakeholders of Radio Frequency threats.

DGS offers a world-class Drone Threat Management (DTM) system that:

  • Detects, classifies and locates drones at farther distances than typical counter-UAV systems available
  • Classifies UAS (drone and controller) in less than 2 seconds
  • Integrates with third-party systems, such as cameras and radar
  • Detects from 40 MHz to 6 GHz and uses patented geolocation techniques to determine optimal approach

RF threats extend beyond drones and include anomalous signals such as wireless jammers, mobile devices in restricted areas, and unauthorized 2-way radios.

DGS detects, locates, and alerts on anomalous signals within the 40 MHz to 6 GHz frequencies, providing an added layer to physical and cyber security measures.

DGS provides detailed knowledge of the RF environment through the use of automated and autonomous systems that deliver easy-to-understand alerts of anomalous signals in near real-time.

This adds a layer of situational awareness for troop deployments and their associated deployed operations centers, tactical operations centers, and maritime operations centers. Alerts are based on specific customer goals using our advanced semantic engine and inference reasoner.

Partners & Integrations

Markets

Actionable intelligence tailored to industry needs

Embedded in existing communications hardware or as standalone sensors, DGS analyzes RF spectrum utilization to create actionable data and insights specific to each industry.

Private Wireless Networks

A surge in Private Wireless Network deployments is being fueled by a plethora of new IoT applications, security concerns with existing networks, and dramatic capabilities of 5G networks.

DGS fully addresses this market with support for improved coverage and capacity, while enabling low-cost spectrum sharing options. Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications are supported today without having to wait for the next generation of standards.

Mobile Network Operators

Usage of public mobile networks is growing annually at 40%. Additionally, MNOs face hurdles to introduce 5G and capitalize on IoT/Industry 4.0 opportunities.

Additonally, operators must share new spectrum allocations with incumbents or risk losing access to valuable spectrum resources.

DGS solves MNO challenges by autonomously characterizing the RF environment and providing persistent, actionable data that optimizes network performance and dynamic spectrum sharing.

Public Safety

Mission-critical networks and applications represent an important societal contribution of wireless networks. With effective deployment and management of these networks, lives are saved.

Through our engagements in this segment, DGS has developed solutions making Public Safety networks and associated applications more reliable.

Interference management, improved utilization visibility, support for ultra-reliable low latency communications, and counter UAV solutions are redefining first responder communications and operations.

Open RAN Manufacturers

Open RAN uses vendor-neutral hardware and software based on open standards, ensuring interoperability while giving service providers the ability to mix best-in-class products.

DGS provides real-time environmental feedback to the RAN, allowing more efficient usage of congested spectrum and better resource allocation, while paving the way for true dynamic spectrum sharing.

Defense and Public Sector

Communicating in contested and congested environments is critical for warfighter operations. Additionally, RF-enabled devices such as drones, jammers, and other anomalous emitters threaten critical infrastructure.

DGS’s patented solution solves both of these issues, ensuring clear communications and alerting on RF threats.

Utilities

Utility sites, such as electrical substations and oil/gas storage facilities, are often located in remote areas with no on-site security personnel, making them prime targets for vandalism or worse.

DGS patented solutions alert on anomalous wireless signals, including mobile devices loitering in proximity to a utility site. Our tip-and-cue architecture works with other devices, such as PTZ cameras, to ensure the centralized security operations center is aware of potential threats

Airports

Airports represent one of the most complex wireless environments with several radar types, WiFi, and mobile communications raising the noise floor.

The DGS patented machine learning engine finds signals of interest in congested and chaotic environments. This allows superior detection of drones and other anomalous signals, as well as optimizing spectrum allocation for deployed private networks.
