July 28, 2021 – KIRKLAND, WA — Spectrum Effect® announced today that Spectrum-NET has incorporated 3D environment data into its patented algorithms for locating of external RF interference sources. Spectrum-NET interference locating leads the industry with the highest accuracy.

Spectrum-NET calculates interference magnitudes at each cell and applies Bayesian inference to calculate the location of each source of external RF interference. The locating algorithm now applies both horizontal and vertical antenna radiation pattern information, mechanical and electrical tilt, antenna height, and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data.

“Mobile operators need to respond to an ever increasing amount of external interference from sources such as cell phone boosters and leakage from Cable TV cables. Operators also have an urgent need to clear newly allocated NR RF bands.”, commented Spectrum Effect CEO, Charles Immendorf. “Spectrum-NET is a game changer for operators to surgically deploy their staff and address external sources far more expeditiously. The resulting network performance improvements are felt by their subscribers and measured in industry benchmarks.”

June 8, 2021 – KIRKLAND, WA — Spectrum Effect® today announced the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models contained in the latest release of Spectrum-NET are achieving the highest accuracy ever measured for classifying and aggregating RF interference.

Spectrum-NET performs automated, machine learning-driven analysis of RF interference, which enables operators to rapidly and effectively mitigate RF interference. Spectrum-NET contains an RF interference classification library of Deep CNN models that have been trained with labeled measurement examples from mobile operator networks across the globe. The Spectrum-NET CNN models classify various interference sources such as PIM, CATV egress, WiMAX, DECT, BDA’s and TDD self-interference.

The measured accuracy of the latest versions of the Spectrum-NET CNN models is greater than 92% (top 1) and 98% (top 2).

“The cost of RF interference to mobile operators is substantial today and these costs are increasing significantly as operators deploy 5G NR”, commented Spectrum Effect CEO, Charles Immendorf. “Our latest CNN models are another major step in the advancement of Spectrum-NET and will enable operators to save more OPEX while driving further network performance improvements.”
