XEdge, the first comprehensive solution for continuous edge network testing and monitoring at scale, was introduced by VIAVI Solutions.
With its innovative controller and multi-carrier RF probe, XEdge, which is built on a robust cloud-based platform with advanced automation and easy-to-use analytics, allows network managers to fully realize the potential of complex wireless technologies in a variety of industries.
Companies need to handle the conventional intricacies of wireless environments and be able to precisely adjust network performance by utilizing network teams that possess the required expertise at a reasonable cost.
XEdge was designed to assist in overcoming these obstacles. Through the use of cutting-edge edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and contemporary cloud-based architecture, XEdge effortlessly integrates with operational systems, turning SLA monitoring from a laborious, resource-intensive task into a simplified, automated procedure.
XEdge Combines:
- Centralized controller with versatile devices.
- The controller provides a unified, web-based interface for on-site or remote operations, enabling efficient management, data visualization, and analysis.
- Deployable in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid models, it integrates seamlessly with existing systems.
- The devices support multi-SIM, built-in sensors, and autonomous testing, offering flexible use as handheld units or unattended monitors.
- Together, they deliver a scalable, comprehensive network monitoring solution.
Multiple standalone and non-standalone 5G NR bands, LTE-FDD/TDD, and LAA bands are supported by the system, along with Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, and USB/USB-C interfaces.
XEdge has IC and CE certifications and conforms with FCC Part 15. Extended control and data interchange are made possible through REST API integration with third-party systems.
Private Networks Shaping Performance of 5G Networks
High bandwidth, low latency and enhanced reliability have made 4G and 5G competitive options for wireless edge connectivity, resulting in increased adoption beyond commercial mobile networks. Enterprises are deploying private networks to shape the performance of 5G networks, network testing to their specific industry needs. Even public safety networks and transportation communications are opening their proprietary networks to 5G technology.
Leadership Comments
“Cost-effective reliability and performance are critical when it comes to edge and enterprise applications. VIAVI’s XEdge is designed to be a simple, unattended system that gives peace of mind to those responsible for delivering low-latency, reliable edge environments,” said Deepak Shahane, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Service Enablement, VIAVI. “By addressing the complexities of new wireless technologies in addition to the challenges of traditional network management, XEdge is a key sensoring platform that helps reduce operational costs and enhance network performance, which ultimately leads to higher-performing networks and satisfied users.”
From March 3–6, 2025, this solution will be on display at VIAVI Stand 5A18 in Hall 5 during MWC Barcelona.
