RFarchitect®
Network planning and management software for reliable and efficient connectivity
RFarchitect® is an advanced, integrated fully internationalized deconfliction software tool for RF network planning and management, designed to optimize spectrum usage and ensure reliable, interference-free communications. It reduces network analysis and planning time and enables path reliability while reducing RF congestion and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It empowers spectrum operators and network planners to maintain communication superiority in today’s complex and contested electromagnetic environments.
As industry-leading experts, HII has developed sophisticated, time-tested algorithms for electromagnetic spectrum operations and RF network planning and engineering. Additionally, we have supported spectrum-sharing studies between government assets and commercial carriers, expanding 5G offerings.
RFarchitect® performed ~6,000 simulation runs in the mid-3Ghz band to support spectrum-sharing studies.
Mission Applications
RFarchitect® empowers decentralized network planning and frequency assignment through modular deployment and customizable installation. It enables users to manage multiple deployment scenarios while accessing terrain data and supporting imagery—even offline, and facilitates the distribution of updated network plans between users when requirements shift, ensuring resilient, and adaptable network connections.
