RFeye Node overview

Discover our advanced superheterodyne RF technology using the latest microwave components and technology for superior sensitivity, frequency stability, and selectivity. Compare Node specifications, view the new RFeye Node models, and discover what makes them unique.

Easy installation, setup,
and operation

RFeye technology (COTS optimized) is easy to connect and install and does not require recalibration once set up.

Ruggedized protection
from water and dust

Designed for outdoor deployment in extreme environments, RFeye Nodes operate between -30°C – +55°C.

Small, light, fast

RFeye Nodes can be deployed on masts, tripods, within building ceiling tiles (TSCM solution), and as drone payloads. These same RF sensors are configured across all CRFS hardware (fixed, mobile, tactical, and in-field) platforms.

Gateway to powerful
software and APIs

CRFS hardware works with a software suite to monitor, capture, analyze, and geolocate signals of interest for complete spectrum visibility.
