Dynamic Spectrum Optimization

Overcoming obstacles

Whether deploying in first-responder tactical situations, over water to oil platforms, in urban canyons to video cameras and hot-spots, or along remote stretches of national borders for defense and situational awareness, the requirements for high-speed connectivity intersect with constraints on available spectrum, line of sight and non-line of sight topologies, IT/Enterprise integration, cyber-security threat prevention, and harsh environmental conditions.

Dynamic Spectrum Optimization™(DSO)

The challenging nature and complexity of these missions requires flexibility from systems that allow spectrum managers, network operators and implementation managers to negotiate changing program landscapes while staying within budgetary parameters. Dynamic Spectrum Optimization™ (DSO) is a unique capability offered by Airspan that enables optimization of link performance by automatically sampling and changing channels to avoid interference without affecting link service. See the DSO White Paper for full details.
