Overview
XEdge is a VIAVI platform for testing and monitoring device connectivity at the edge of private mobile and Wi-Fi networks. It is intended for organizations operating business-critical networks across factories, remote sites, secure zones, venues and mobile operations, where connectivity loss or performance degradation can interrupt operations.
The platform combines edge computing sensors with a centralized dashboard and AI-based analytics. Sensors run unattended, performing continuous 24/7 tests and raising automated alerts when performance falls below user-defined thresholds, so that compliance with private network and Wi-Fi SLAs can be tracked and reported without daily manual management.
Sensor range
The sensor range covers LTE and 5G in the FR1 band. The XEdge v2 is a larger multi-carrier, high-capacity unit accommodating 1, 2 or 4 SIM cards/modems for monitoring, walk tests and drive tests indoors. The XEdge Lite is a compact, lightweight sensor for dense or distributed placement, suited to monitoring and drive tests indoors and outdoors. The XEdge Agent is an Android mobile sensor SDK that runs on corporate smartphones and tablets without root access and is compatible with MDM deployment. All sensors support the same KPIs, applications and test scenarios and are operated through the XEdge Controller.
Controller and integration
The XEdge Controller runs in a secure cloud or on premises, with a unique controller per customer. It provides central management and visualization of distributed sensors, AI-driven analytics and trend reports, and open APIs for integration with existing OSS/NMS workflows.
XEdge Cyber
XEdge Cyber verifies authorized access and policy enforcement across private 5G networks from the user equipment perspective. It covers IP reachability testing, firewall rule validation from the device side, application-aware threat simulation and continuous drift detection to identify configuration changes that break network segmentation.
