When large numbers of people come together for major events, spectrum planners must ensure 24/7 access to radio spectrum for the various stakeholders. Broadcasters beam live pictures from the various stadiums to billions of spectators world-wide, while the local available radio spectrum must support the simultaneous tweets and insta-messages from thousands of individual spectators at the arena. In addition, emergency services, police and security agencies, as well as event organizers, depend on assured wireless communications for the smooth operation of all venues, for public safety, security and emergency response, around the clock.
CRFS has supplied their RFeye monitoring network for major global sporting events, including almost 200 monitoring systems to Anatel, the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency. RFeye networks provide regulators and spectrum managers the ability to monitor the radio spectrum across multiple venues in real-time. This enables rapid identification and location of unauthorized or interfering signals so that action can be taken quickly to mitigate any negative effects from unintentional and or malicious interferers.
The RFeye networks and its powerful monitoring software can locate multiple signals of interest including frequency hopping broadband and low power co-channel interference.
