Use case: Autonomous cellular spectrum sharing
Learn how the VectorWave APU can be integrated into cellular and 5G infrastructures.
Cellular operators and private network providers face growing demand for spectrum. The need for high-performance wireless capacity is increasing due to private 5G, AI workloads, industrial automation, and connected infrastructure. However, as the amount of available greenfield spectrum shrinks, operators must be more efficient on shared bands without compromising protection for incumbent users, such as federal radar systems.
Traditional spectrum sharing relies on coordination. VectorWave enables 5G radio infrastructure to sense incumbent RF activity and adapt in nanoseconds. This unlocks shared spectrum without the latency, infrastructure burden, and operational constraints of conventional coordination systems, changing the game for operators and providers alike.
