Aviat Networks has unveiled a new Frequency Assurance Software (FAS) and integrated spectrum analyzer functionality to help customers protect their mission critical microwave links from interference in 6GHz. 

With Wi-Fi 6e now approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), microwave licensees will have little or no protection from interference to their critical communications, claims Aviat Networks.

Aviat said that it strongly opposes unlicensed operation in the 6GHz band since it threatens essential services for first responders, utilities, mobile operators, transportation and other critical infrastructure. For this reason, Aviat has developed FAS to address the threat posed from unlicensed Wi-Fi 6e operation.

Aviat's patent pending FAS Expert System is custom-built to monitor and detect interference, perform trend analysis of the network over time to track interference, and isolate problem links before noticeable impacts occur. FAS has an innovative algorithm that allows Aviat customers to baseline their microwave networks before Wi-Fi 6e devices get widely deployed so they can see interference effects over time. 

Pete Smith, President and CEO, Aviat Networks
Our goal is to protect our customers from interference due to Wi-Fi 6e and other unwanted or unauthorized sources. Enabling our customers to maintain their critical communications is of utmost importance to us.
