What is Spectrum Scan and Why Does It Matter for Industrial WiFi Deployment?

📡 What is Spectrum Scan?

Spectrum Scan is a feature that provides real-time visibility into the radio frequency (RF) environment. Instead of guessing which WiFi channel is free, Spectrum Scan analyzes the surrounding RF spectrum, detects interference sources, and helps select the best channel for reliable communication.

In simpler terms: it lets your WiFi system “see” the airwaves before making critical deployment decisions.

Article content

⚠️ The Challenge in Industrial WiFi Deployment

Industrial environments — such as factories, ports, airports, smart cities, and warehouses — are filled with wireless devices and interference sources:

  • Heavy machinery emitting electromagnetic noise
  • Multiple WiFi access points overlapping channels
  • IoT sensors and industrial controllers competing for bandwidth
  • Even non-WiFi devices (e.g., Bluetooth, microwave ovens, radar) interfering with 2.4/5/6 GHz bands

Without visibility, network planners often rely on trial and error, leading to:

  • Frequent disconnections
  • Reduced throughput
  • Unstable latency (which is critical for industrial control systems)

🔍 How Spectrum Scan Helps

Spectrum Scan offers actionable insights for industrial deployments:

  • Interference Detection
  • Identify overlapping WiFi signals or non-WiFi noise sources.
  • Helps avoid congested channels and minimize packet loss.
  • Optimized Channel Selection
  • Choose the best frequency channels with the least interference.
  • Boosts overall network stability and throughput.
  • Proactive Troubleshooting
  • Engineers can diagnose problems faster with live RF visibility.
  • Reduce downtime in mission-critical applications.
  • Industrial-Grade Reliability
  • Ensures consistent performance in harsh environments like manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, and outdoor smart infrastructure.

Looking back at 2024 – the most interesting implemented projects

So, we had a very interesting and challenging year 2024, let us share the most interesting projects we have implemented.

Such a typical project for Wi-Fi or PON infrastructure has several parts, the preparatory part lasts a year or two before you move to the first installation phase, and then you spend several more years expanding the installations and maintaining them until the project’s lifetime. So it is key to choose the right solution at the beginning. And that is the essence of our work. Selecting and tuning suitable solutions with our partners.

We enjoy testing and tuning, but this first stage also includes lengthy and demanding certifications CE, FCC, IC, ISO, ROHS, REACH and others, as well as tedious filling out legislative forms regarding the non-use of prohibited and hazardous substances in production – SVHC (substances of very high concern), POP (persistent organic pollutants), Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances – PFAS, LC-PFCAs (Long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids), MCCP (Medium chain chlorinated paraffins), Chlorpyrifos (also known by the trade names Dursban, OMS 0971, Lorsban, Brodan, Killmaster, Pyrinex, Suscon, Coroban, Terial, Danusban, Durmet, and Eradex). There are new recently added fun forms regarding sustainability and carbon footprint. Yes, we can successfully fill that out too. And thanks to this, we helped our partners to obtain several interesting projects using EU subsidies. And even for projects in the USA and Canada, our certifications and forms went through a demanding approval process. Thanks to this, the difficult year 2024 was ultimately quite successful.

Europe is already quite crowded with Wi-Fi solutions such as hotspots and Wi-Fi connections for passengers and customers. There is probably not a single European country where our Wi-Fi modules have not been used for professional Wi-Fi connection solutions for many years. Our modules are used, for example, in trains and buses all over Europe. Of course, last year we also increased their number and added new projects using Wi-Fi 6. In particular, the Mediatek MT7915 and MT7916 modules have proven themselves for Wi-Fi applications for passengers and customers and, thanks to the new DBDC (dual band dual concurrent) functionality, they have saved implementation costs, as one module can create two independent Wi-Fi networks in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and, newly, in the WiFi6E 6GHz band. These modules offer a very powerful HW AP mode with good signal coverage and support for a large number of simultaneously connected clients.

Our proven 802.11ac WiFi 5 modules with the QCA 9880 / 9882 chip have found application in projects even in faraway Asia. In cooperation with a partner, we successfully launched a Wi-Fi project for passengers on trains in Kazakhstan. This project was mainly interesting due to its relatively large scope and duration. That is why we were forced to ensure a stable supply of these good old proven chips until 2028. That was probably the hardest thing – but we managed to do it too. We can therefore continue to offer the proven 524WiFi 600VX and 900VX pro + modules to all interested parties without any supply restrictions.

These reliable and powerful miniPCIe modules are popular for use in drones due to their long range and sensitivity. And so one of the most important orders is now an arms order from the USA. WLE 900VX Wi-Fi modules will help to precisely and reliably control military drones. The installation of the industrial version of the 524WiFi 900VX Pro + into aircraft is still ongoing, and we are also working with a partner from the USA on this.

As you probably know, our modules can be found, for example, in wind farms, in drones, on ships, in both civil, aerobatic and military aircraft … on land, on water and in the air. NASA has also ordered samples, so the next goal is to get into space! And we worked on that in 2024. Newly, in cooperation with SpaceX, they are currently testing our Mediatek WiFi 6 and 6E modules.

Several projects with Smart city applications, Smart industrial control or AI powered industrial solutions are in the early stages of implementation. Many of them require powerful real time streaming, so we help our partners with the selection and testing of Wi-Fi 6E modules with the Qualcomm QCN 9074 chip. We are also now finalizing support for WiFi 7 modules QCN 9274, the use of which has so far been limited to the QCA IPQ processor platform. We will soon publish how to do it in Linux systems with open source ath12k drivers. So that is our task for the beginning of 2025. We know that the x86 platform with the Linux system or OpenWRT are the most important for our customers for the development of their applications. The OpenWiFi project is also very interesting, we started working with this platform last year and our new HW supports OpenWiFi firmware! You can read more in the individual articles on our blog.

Happy New Year 2025 and all the best from the 524WiFi team!

Ohlédnutí za rokem 2024 -nejzajímavější realizované projekty

Tak nám uplynul velmi zajímavý a náročný rok 2024, dovolte nám se podělit o nejzajímavější námi realizované projekty.

Takový typický projekt pro Wi-Fi či PON infrastrukturu má několik částí , přípravná část trvá i rok či dva než se posunete do fáze první instalace a pak několik dalších let věnujete rozšiřování instalací a údržbě do doby životnosti projektu. Je tedy klíčové si na začátku vybrat vhodné řešení. A to je právě podstata naší práce. Výběr a ladění vhodných řešení s našimi partnery.

Testování a ladění nás baví, ale do této první etapy spadají i zdlouhavé náročné certifikce CE, FCC, IC, ISO, ROHS, REACH a další a také úmorné vyplňování legislativních formulářů ohledně nepoužívání zakázaných a nebezpečných látek při výrobě – SVHC (substances of very high concern), POP (persistent organic pollutants), Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances – PFAS, LC-PFCAs (Long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids), MCCP (Medium chain chlorinated paraffins), Chlorpyrifos (also known by the trade names Dursban, OMS 0971, Lorsban, Brodan, Killmaster, Pyrinex, Suscon, Coroban, Terial, Danusban, Durmet, and Eradex). Nově nám přibyly zábavné formuláře ohledně udržitelnosti a uhlíkové stopy. Ano, i to umíme úspěšně vyplnit. A díky tomu jsme pomohli našim partnerům získat několik zajímavých projektů s využitím dotací z EU. A i pro projekty v USA a Kanadě naše certifikace a formuláře prošly náročným schvalovacím řízením. Díky tomu byl těžký rok 2024 nakonec celkem úspěšný.

Evropa je jíž Wi-Fi řešeními jako jsou hotspoty a Wi-Fi připojení pro cestující a zákazníky celkem přeplněna. Asi není ani jedna evropská země kde by naše Wi-Fi moduly již řadu let nesloužily pro profesionální řešení Wi-Fi připojení. Naše moduly jezdí například ve vlacích a autobusech po celé Evropě. Samozřejmě i v loňském roce jsem jejich počet navýšili a doplnili i nové projekty s využitím Wi-Fi 6. Zvláště Mediatek MT7915 a MT7916 moduly se osvědčily pro aplikaci Wi-Fi pro cestující a zákazníky a díky nové funkcionalitě DBDC (dual band dual concurrent) ušetřili náklady na implementaci, jeden modul totiž zvládne vytvořit dvě nezávislé Wi-Fi sítě v pásmu 2,4GHz i 5GHz a nově i v pásmu WiFi6E 6GHz. Tyto moduly nabízí velmi výkonný HW AP mod s dobrým pokrytím signálem a podporou velkého množství současně připojených klientů.

Naše osvědčené 802.11ac WiFi 5 moduly s čipem QCA 9880 / 9882 našly uplatnění v projektech i v daleké Asii. Ve spolupráci s partnerem jsem úspěšně zahájili projekt Wi-Fi pro cestující ve vlacích v Kazachstánu. Tento projekt byl hlavně zajímavý poměrně velkým rozsahem a délkou trvání. Proto jsme byly nuceni zajistit stabilní dodávku těchto starých dobrých osvědčeních čipů až do roku 2028. To bylo asi to nejtěžší – ale i to jsme snad zvládli. Můžeme proto všem zájemcům osvědčené moduly 524WiFi 600VX a 900VX pro + nabízet i nadále bez omezení dodávek.

Tyto spolehlivé a výkonné miniPCIe moduly jsou pro velký dosah a citlivost populární o pro použití v dronech. A tak jednou z nejvýznamnějších zakázek je nyní zbrojní zakázka z USA. WLE 900VX Wi-Fi moduly budou pomáhat přesně a spolehlivě ovládat vojenské drony. Stále pokračují i instalace průmyslové verze 524WiFi 900VX Pro+ do letadel, na tom spolupracujeme také s partnerem z USA.

Jak jistě víte tak naše moduly najdete například i ve větrných elektrárnách, v dronech, na lodích, v letadlech jak civilních, akrobatických tak i vojenských …na zemi, na vodě i ve vzduchu. I NASA si objednala vzorky, takže dalším cílem je dostat se do vesmíru! A i na tom jsme v roce 2024 pracovali. Nově ve spolupráci se SpaceX, aktuálně testují naše Mediatek WiFi 6 a 6E moduly.

V počátcích realizace je několik projektů s aplikací Smart city, Smart řízení v průmyslu či AI powered průmyslová řešení. Mnohé z nich vyžadují výkonný real time streaming , pomáháme tedy našim partnerům s výběrem a testování Wi-Fi 6E modulů s čipem Qualcomm QCN 9074. Nově dokončujeme i podporu pro WiFi 7 moduly QCN 9274 jejichž použití bylo zatím omezeno pro platformu QCA IPQ procesorů. Již brzy zveřejníme jak na to v Linuxových systémech s opensource drivery ath12k. Tak to je náš úkol na začátek roku 2025. Víme že x86 platforma s Linux systémem či OpenWRT jsou pro naše zákazníky nejdůležitější pro vývoj jejich aplikací. Velmi zajímavý je také projekt OpenWiFi , s touto platform jsme začali spolupracovat v loňském roce a náš nový HW podporuje OpenWiFi firmware! Více se dočtete v jednotlivých článcích na našem blogu.

Tak pěkný nový rok 2025 a jen to nejlepší všem přeje 524WiFi team !
