Datasheet

Overview

XEdge is a VIAVI platform for testing and monitoring connectivity at the edge of private mobile and Wi-Fi networks. It is aimed at organizations that run business-critical 4G and 5G private networks and Wi-Fi across factories, remote sites, secure zones, venues and mobile operations, where hundreds or thousands of devices depend on consistent connectivity.

The platform combines edge computing in distributed sensors with a centralized cloud dashboard and AI analytics. It automates SLA monitoring for private network and Wi-Fi services and runs continuous network testing without daily management or specialized radio network expertise. The sensors work unattended.

Sensors and controller

The XEdge sensors are designed for LTE and 5G technology in the FR1 band. All sensor types support the same KPIs, applications and testing scenarios, and they are all operated through the XEdge Controller. The controller runs in a secure cloud or on premises, and each customer has its own controller instance for its XEdge devices. It provides centralized management, web-based dashboards, trend reports, and open APIs for integration with OSS/NMS workflows.

Testing capabilities

The sensors support continuous 24/7 testing with automated alerts when performance drops below defined thresholds. They also support walk tests and drive tests with automated reporting, coverage reports for RF and data rates, geo-fencing and indoor analytics.
