As shared spectrum becomes the norm across CBRS, unlicensed 5 GHz, 6 GHz, and cable upstream bands, interference disputes between co-located wireless operators are eating ops budgets and frustrating customers. FederateWave is the AI-powered, cryptographically neutral platform that detects inter-tenant interference in real time, automatically mediates channel allocation between competing tenants, and publishes binding uplink schedules to an immutable ledger — all without exposing any operator's proprietary network configuration.
From regional cable operators to tier-1 ISPs and fixed wireless access providers, network teams rely on FederateWave to keep shared spectrum running smoothly.
When multiple operators share the same frequencies — whether CBRS, unlicensed 5 GHz, or DOCSIS upstream — interference is predictable. Today's resolution process is manual, slow, and built on negotiation rather than data. A single interference complaint can take weeks to resolve through bilateral meetings. There's no transparency, no audit trail, and no way for operators to prove compliance with negotiated agreements.
The result? Customer churn, regulatory fines, and ops teams working weekends.
FederateWave injects a cryptographically neutral arbitration layer between competing operators. Each tenant sends anonymized RF telemetry to the federated gateway. AI models trained on physics-based RF simulations correlate cross-tenant event streams in milliseconds, classify interference events, and propose channel and schedule adjustments. All affected tenants vote via quorum consensus. Agreed schedules are published to an immutable ledger and pushed to network controllers.
No operator can cheat the system. No proprietary data leaves the tenant boundary. Regulatory compliance is built in.
Each designed to eliminate conflict in shared spectrum environments.
Device metadata is cryptographically hashed at the tenant edge before entering the mesh. Network topology, configuration details, and business logic never cross tenant boundaries. Hashed metadata propagates freely between quorum nodes for correlation and mediation, but only the originating tenant can decrypt owner identity.
Every device is assigned a pseudonymous token derived from zero-knowledge proofs. Neighbor discovery happens over privacy-preserving protocols. A tenant's device footprint remains invisible to other operators until explicitly needed for mediation. This eliminates competitive intelligence leakage and regulatory compliance headaches.
Ensemble machine learning models trained on terabytes of RF physics simulations and anonymized production data correlate cross-tenant signal patterns in real time. The engine scores interference events by severity, origin band, and confidence level. Adapts continuously to seasonal traffic patterns and new equipment onboarding without manual retraining.
A stateless, quorum-governed REST and gRPC gateway brokers all mediation requests between tenants. No single operator controls routing logic or has write access to the gateway state. Consensus quorums validate every mediation cycle. Built-in rate limiting and request signing ensure fair allocation and tamper-proofing.
Game-theory-backed algorithms negotiate optimal channel assignments across competing tenants using a hierarchical auction model. The system maximizes aggregate throughput in contested bands while respecting each tenant's minimum bandwidth requirements. Allocations are published to a shared ledger with full transparency.
Binding uplink time-slot agreements are negotiated, cryptographically signed by all affected tenants, and published to an immutable ledger. Every tenant has verifiable proof of what they agreed to. Automated drift monitoring detects violations in real time. Penalties and rebates are calculated and settled daily.
Every layer is designed for neutrality, privacy, and scalability.
FederateWave injects DOCSIS MAC domain maps, fiber route topology, and hybrid coax plant schematics into the correlation engine. By matching RF interference signatures to cable plant geometry, the platform identifies interference paths that purely wireless analysis misses. CMTS uplink overload in one market can be correlated to FWA cell breathing in an adjacent market — something impossible without cabling context.
The entire mediation stack runs on a peer-to-peer substrate. There is no central authority — quorum-based Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus among tenant-operated nodes governs all mediation decisions. New tenants join by staking a bond and running a light quorum node. The protocol is live and permissionless; operators cannot be arbitrarily excluded. This eliminates the single-vendor lock-in and single point of failure that plague centralized mediation platforms.
Reinforcement learning agents continuously optimize mediation policies by observing outcomes across all participating tenants. Agents learn traffic patterns, equipment responses, and seasonal RF phenomena. The engine adapts to new equipment types, regulatory changes, and tenant onboarding without any manual reconfiguration. Over 18 months, median mediation latency dropped from 4.2 hours to 18 milliseconds on the production network.
Real-time mediation that operators can trust.
Tenant edge agents capture RF telemetry, packet loss rates, signal strength, modulation errors, and device uplink/downlink activity every 100ms. Each metric is hashed using the tenant's private key and salt. Anonymized event records are pushed to the federated mesh via gRPC. Raw signal data never leaves the tenant network.
The AI engine correlates cross-tenant event streams by comparing RF signatures, temporal patterns, and geolocation hints (using only bucket-level precision). The classifier runs 400+ features through ensemble random forests, gradient boosting, and attention-based neural networks. Events are scored for interference type: co-channel, adjacent-channel, blocking, or intermodulation. Severity is rated 1–10.
The cooperative allocation module proposes channel and uplink schedule adjustments. Affected tenants receive proposals via secure encrypted channels. The quorum collects tenant votes over a 5-second window. If a proposal achieves supermajority (75%+), it advances to the ledger. Failed proposals trigger iterative re-negotiation with relaxed constraints.
Agreed schedules are committed to the immutable ledger, signed by all tenants, and pushed to tenant network controllers within 200ms. Compliance monitoring runs continuously — drift violations are flagged in real time. Monthly settlement reports are auto-generated and shared with all participants for audit and regulatory filing.
All tiers include the neutral API gateway, anonymized device discovery, and daily compliance monitoring. Advanced tiers add AI mediation depth and dedicated infrastructure support.
Passive interference monitoring and event logging across shared frequency bands. Ideal for operators beginning their federated journey or running a single market with 2–3 co-located competitors. Provides full visibility into interference patterns without automatic mediation.
Full AI-driven mediation with cooperative channel allocation and binding uplink scheduling agreements. Built for mid-size multi-tenant deployments (4–12 operators). Includes hourly ledger commits, automated SLA monitoring, and quorum voting on all mediation proposals.
Enterprise-grade federation with cabling infrastructure awareness, dedicated quorum node cluster, priority support, and white-glove onboarding. Designed for large multi-market deployments and tier-1 operators managing 12+ competing tenants across complex cable plants.
Traditional interference resolution requires bilateral negotiation between tenants — slow, contentious, and unscalable at any real-world scale. FederateWave automates the entire stack and guarantees fairness through cryptography.
Mediation operates entirely on anonymized, hashed representations — no tenant ever exposes raw device data, network topology, channel plans, or business logic to another. Regulatory compliance is built in from the start.
REST, gRPC, Kafka, SNMP, syslog, and Prometheus exporters ship out of the box. Existing OSS/BSS tooling integrates without rewriting agent code or backhaul infrastructure. SDR capture flows directly into the ingestion pipeline.
Built-in audit trails, tamper-evident ledger entries, and exportable reports support FCC Part 15, FCC Part 96 (CBRS), ETSI EN 301 893 (5 GHz), and comparable regulatory frameworks worldwide. No manual documentation required.
As new tenants join, the quorum automatically rebalances node assignments without stopping the platform. Mediation throughput scales horizontally — 2 tenants or 200 tenants, latency stays under 200ms. No manual topology configuration.
4.8 billion interference events mediated. 99.99% gateway uptime across 340+ active tenants. TeleFed Regional went from 19-day resolution times to 4 hours average. FWA operators report 37% fewer customer-reported interference issues.
TeleFed Regional operated a dense DOCSIS 3.1 cable plant co-located with a competing fixed-wireless ISP and an unlicensed-spectrum ISP in 12 shared corridor markets across three states. Interference disputes were common, with customers reporting service degradation several times per month. Each incident required a war room call between network teams, physical site visits to gather RF data, and days of back-and-forth negotiation before any remedy was attempted.
After deploying FederateWave Mediator, the entire conflict resolution process shifted from manual negotiation to automated data-driven mediation. The platform ingested anonymized telemetry from all three operators' edge nodes, correlated cross-tenant RF signatures, and proposed cooperative channel and uplink schedule adjustments within seconds. Affected operators voted via the API. Agreed schedules were published to the ledger and pushed to controllers.
Result: 94% of incidents were resolved before a customer ticket was even opened. The 6% that still required human review were escalated with full context and historical data, cutting war-room time to 15 minutes versus 6 hours previously.
FederateWave removed the single biggest source of friction in our multi-tenant spectrum agreements. The anonymized discovery layer alone justified the cost in the first month. We went from fighting with our neighbors at every interference incident to knowing they have full visibility into our constraints without seeing our equipment details.
The uplink scheduling ledger is the first tool we have ever seen that actually holds all parties accountable without requiring anyone to share configurations they consider proprietary. We can prove to regulators that we're complying with our agreements. That alone is worth the subscription — and we're getting 18-millisecond mediation on top of it.
We evaluated three interference mediation vendors. FederateWave was the only platform with a credible decentralized architecture that did not create a new central point of control or a new vendor lock-in. The quorum governance model is what sealed the deal. Our legal team was skeptical, but after audit, they signed off immediately.
All device identifiers and network configuration data are hashed at the tenant edge using SHA-3 with a per-tenant salt before entering the federated mesh. The platform never stores raw identifiers or configuration in any ledger. Zero-knowledge proofs allow neighbor discovery and RF correlation without revealing underlying topology or business logic to other tenants. Cryptographic keys are rotated automatically every 90 days.
FederateWave supports licensed and unlicensed bands including CBRS (3.5 GHz), UNII-1/2/3 (5 GHz), 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E, DOCSIS upstream (5–65 MHz), DOCSIS downstream (54–1000 MHz), and private LTE bands. Band coverage expands continuously through driver-level adapter contributions from the operator community. Custom band support can be added within 4 weeks via the Arbitrator tier.
Yes. The platform ships REST and gRPC adapters with OpenAPI 3.0 spec, a Kafka connector for streaming event ingestion, SNMP and syslog bridges, and Prometheus exporters. Most operators integrate with their existing BSS/OSS infrastructure within 2–3 sprints without modifying existing provisioning pipelines. We provide turnkey Docker Compose stacks for integration with common platforms.
Arbitrator customers receive a dedicated 5-node quorum cluster deployed in two geographically separated regions of their choice (or ours). FederateWave manages availability, failover, and patching. You retain full audit read access to ledger state and can rotate cryptographic signing keys at any time. The cluster runs on your VPC or our managed Kubernetes service.
Yes. The cooperative channel allocation engine is designed from the ground up for n-party negotiation. In dense spectrum environments with 10 or more co-located tenants, multi-party allocation consistently outperforms bilateral agreements on aggregate throughput metrics by 15–22%. The hierarchical auction model ensures fairness by iteratively relaxing constraints if consensus fails.
Observer and Mediator tiers include 99.5% uptime SLA. Arbitrator tier includes 99.99% SLA with automatic failover and geo-redundancy. All SLAs exclude scheduled maintenance windows (monthly, 2 hours max, announced 2 weeks in advance). Penalty credits are issued automatically if SLA is breached — no claim required.
