Hunting RF Interference in Utility Networks: Practical Approaches for Detection and Response
Register Now
RF interference—whether accidental or intentional—can disrupt mission-critical utility communications and requires a coordinated, field-driven response. This webinar explores real-world interference scenarios, including faulty or unauthorized transmitters across LMR/DMR, Wi-Fi, and microwave systems.
Attendees will gain practical insights into frequency detection using accessible, cost-effective tools, along with key considerations for network monitoring, team structure, and training. The session will also highlight strategies to improve field-level situational awareness and accelerate interference identification and mitigation.
