Unexpected dropouts
Links or sensors work normally and then fail without a clear network or configuration cause.
Wireless, radio, telemetry or GNSS equipment behaving unpredictably? We investigate the RF environment, identify unwanted signals and determine why they are affecting your system.
Interference can be intermittent, location-dependent or caused by another system that appears unrelated. The first job is to establish what is actually happening rather than replace equipment by guesswork.
Links or sensors work normally and then fail without a clear network or configuration cause.
Coverage changes, receiver desensitisation or interference appears in a previously reliable system.
Industrial telemetry or remote I/O loses communication and disrupts operations.
GPS/GNSS receivers lose lock, degrade or behave differently at particular places or times.
An unexpected transmission or elevated noise floor appears in the band you depend on.
Multiple RF systems interact on the same site and the cause is difficult to isolate.
The investigation is evidence-led and adapted to the affected system and site.
Establish when, where and how the failure occurs and what has already been ruled out.
Use spectrum analysis and appropriate antennas/probes to characterise wanted and unwanted signals.
Where practical, use comparative measurements and direction finding to narrow down the physical source.
Explain the likely mechanism, evidence and practical corrective action. Engineering remediation can be quoted separately.
Based in Northampton and available for commercial and industrial investigations across the Midlands, London and throughout the UK. On-site investigations are scoped from the symptoms and location; priority response is available.
Sensors, machine telemetry, radios and wireless control systems.
GNSS, tracking, telemetry, RFID and site wireless systems.
GNSS/RTK, asset tracking, radio and machine-control communications.
Dedicated investigation services for sectors where wireless, GNSS and telemetry failures can disrupt operations.
Describe the symptoms. We’ll tell you whether an on-site RF investigation is likely to help.
