RF Augmented Reality

What RF Viewer Does

RF Viewer provides intuitive, real-time visibility of RF emissions by overlaying signal strength data directly onto a live video feed. It enables users to easily and accurately identify the location, intensity, and distribution of RF emissions.​

You see interference as a color-coded heat map superimposed on the actual site — antennas, equipment shelters, adjacent structures, and power lines. The primary source is visible instantly, so you don't have to do any correlation exercises or back-and-forth between the spectrum analyzer trace and the environment.

You measure once, identify the emitter location in that same moment, and mitigate the interference. The job closes.

For Whom

RF Viewer supports field technicians, RF engineers, and network operations teams responsible for resolving interference in commercial wireless networks. The solution integrates into existing spectrum analyzer workflows without requiring specialized AR training or new test equipment platforms.

The Business Problem

Radio frequency interference degrades network performance throughout the lifecycle — during initial deployment, ongoing optimization, and reactive maintenance. Every interference event drives a field dispatch. But RF signals are invisible.

Technicians using conventional spectrum analyzers face a fundamental challenge: the instrument shows signal strength on a trace, but provides no spatial reference to the physical environment. Every measurement becomes a correlation exercise — looking at the display, looking at the site, making an educated guess about emitter location.

The Cost of Guesswork

• Multiple fix attempts are standard practice. Technicians frequently address reflections or secondary sources rather than the primary emitter, requiring return visits to the same site.
• Passive Intermodulation (PIM) sources evade probe-based detection because walking around the site suppresses the very interference being measured.
• Elevated site work multiplies safety exposure. Each repeat rooftop visit increases fall risk, particularly when sites require scaffolding, tower climbing, or aerial lift operation.
• Truck rolls consume OPEX at scale. When 40-60% of interference cases require multiple visits, dispatch costs compound across every market.
• No existing probe, scanner, or trace-based method provides direct visual correlation between signal strength and the physical location of the emitter.

How RF Viewer Works

The solution renders signal strength as an augmented reality heat map overlaid on the live camera view.

You point the device. The heat map updates in real time as you pan across the site. High-intensity zones appear where signal strength peaks, marking the emitter location directly on the video feed.

One measurement establishes spatial position. You see the primary source, not a reflection. You document the location with video evidence captured in the app. You dispatch the mitigation — replace a faulty connector, shield an external noise source, address a PIM-generating junction.

The interference resolves. The ticket closes. No return visit required.

Measurable business outcomes:

• Reduce Mean Time To Restore (MTTR). Customers report significant MTTR improvement when interference location shifts from multi-visit troubleshooting to single-visit resolution.
• Eliminate unnecessary truck rolls. Fewer return visits reduce dispatch frequency, fuel costs, and technician scheduling burden.
• Lower safety exposure. Single-visit resolution cuts the number of times technicians access elevated sites, reducing fall risk and confined-space entry incidents.
• Protect revenue. Faster interference resolution preserves subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE) and prevents churn during network degradation events.

Why RF Viewer

The only solution that lets you see where interference comes from augmented reality visualization solves the spatial correlation problem that conventional tools cannot address.
