Tablet operating system: Android
Language: English, Chinese
Tracking modes: RSSI, Channel Power and Peak Power

Datasheet

Overview

Interference in a mobile network affects users near the interference source. They see lower call success rates, more dropped calls, shorter battery life, poor voice quality and reduced data throughput. Detecting, locating and removing sources of RF interference is needed to keep service quality up across the network.

VIAVI InterferenceAdvisor is an automated spectrum clearing and interference hunting solution. A single RF engineer can use it to check that spectrum is clear and to find an interference source. The EagleEye software runs on an Android tablet and gives visual and voice prompts that guide the engineer to the estimated location of the interference. Following these steps can shorten troubleshooting from days to hours.

System and connectivity

The system pairs a compatible VIAVI analyzer (CellAdvisor, CellAdvisor 5G or OneAdvisor 800) with a cable-free Android tablet over Wi-Fi. A magnet-mount broadband omni antenna with an integrated GPS antenna reduces cabling. Interference can be tracked in three modes: RSSI, Channel Power and Peak Power. A spectrum display shows changes in the interfering signal's strength and location, and gated sweep control supports TDD interference hunting.

Software and maps

EagleEye is offered as Interference Hunting and Spectrum Clearing licenses. It supports online maps (Google Maps, OpenStreetMap) and offline maps (OpenStreetMap). It also generates reports, saves trace data and screenshots automatically, and locks the touch screen while driving.
