Until now, wireless operators have had to use trucks to survey areas for planning purposes. Government regulators have largely relied on companies to self-police use of frequency bands. VSAT operators have struggled to isolate causes of interference, increasingly as spectrum becomes crowded. Companies and governments create impactful policy decisions even though they have limited understanding about how people use spectrum in real life.
HawkEye 360’s space-based sensors offer first of its kind capability to survey a broad range of frequencies across large regions of the earth. Instead of making best guesses when planning, companies and regulators can use these RF analytics to improve operational efficiency and resiliency of communications systems around the world. When faced with interference that hampers critical communication networks, this data will help operators quickly identify and locate the source of the problem.
