Remote RFExplorer includes both “server-side” and “client-side” software. The “server-side” software acquires data from an attached RF Explorer device and uploads RF spectrum traces to cloud-based storage. The “client-side” software downloads those spectrum traces to a PC located anywhere in the world. Remote monitoring of an RF environment lends itself to a variety of new and exciting applications – the possibilities are endless.
