Datasheet

Overview

The NXE-DEVICE-2M is the two-radio configuration of the VIAVI NITRO XEdge device, a multi-carrier RF probe for continuous testing and analysis of mobile, private LTE/5G and Wi-Fi networks. It belongs to the XEdge platform, which combines edge computing with a centralized cloud dashboard and AI-based analytics to automate SLA monitoring.

The device is designed to run unattended and requires no daily management or specialized network expertise. Each customer has a unique XEdge Controller, available as a secure cloud or on-premises deployment, through which distributed sensors are centrally managed, visualized and reported on.

The XEdge sensor supports LTE and 5G in the FR1 band and is used for continuous monitoring as well as walk tests and drive tests with automated reporting. Tests can be started by triggers and remote commands, and data and control can be integrated with third-party systems through open APIs.

Typical deployments

XEdge is used in enterprise, utility, defense and other business-critical networks, including private 5G campuses, industrial facilities, mining, maritime operations, healthcare, retail, correctional facilities and distributed antenna system (DAS) installations.
