Interference

ISCO is the industry leader in protecting 4G & 5G networks from interference.

ISCO’s patented, adaptive algorithms automatically identifies interference, detects the interference type (jamming, PIM, narrowband, wideband, etc.) and applies digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to remove interference and noise.

Defend against jammers

Guards, high walls, and barbed wire may confine inmates, but not RF signals. At a prison close to the US border, Mexican authorities used a jammer to block cell phone usage by inmates - which severely degraded the networks on the American side. The solution? ISCO ProteusCPRI.

In the news

For the fourth time, ISCO has ranked in the Top 10 on Crain's list of Chicago's Most Innovative Companies based on patent awards.

Licensing Innovation for Open RAN

Ensuring the defense and resilience of cyber and physical infrastructure is increasingly important and can be accomplished in Open RAN. According to the 2023 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) survey of first responders, 9% report that frequency interference affects their ability to communicate to a great extent, and 22% to some extent.

Interference Management and Anti-Jammer Techniques

  • PIM

  • Narrow/Wideband

  • Passive Filters

Passive Intermodulation (PIM)

Signals from multiple transmitters can interact and create Passive Intermodulation (PIM) that degrades the uplink signal, coverage and overall network performance. The PIM problem is growing as networks evolve with more frequency bands being deployed. Our solution removes PIM, regardless of its source.

ISCO in action


The spectrum plot below illustrates a case where a 1 MHz interference source was detected and removed. In this specific case, over 20dB of interference cancellation was achieved, resulting in a return to baseline performance for cell site performance metrics and KPIs.
