Digital Global Systems (DGS) was founded with the vision of providing continuous visibility into the evolving RF environment, enabling operators, enterprises, and governments to manage spectrum as a dynamic, living resource. Recognizing the rapid growth of mobile devices, IoT, and new wireless standards, DGS saw the increasing complexity of the RF spectrum and the need for real-time, adaptive solutions to tackle spectrum congestion, interference, and security issues.

Today, DGS is dedicated to helping both advanced and developing nations connect the unconnected, driving digital transformation with innovative technologies. Their solutions support Smart Cities by integrating diverse data sources to enhance public services and improve citizens’ lives. With over 600 patents, DGS stands at the forefront of RF management, offering unique capabilities that enable nations to leapfrog legacy infrastructure and embrace the digital future. At its core, DGS is focused on empowering connectivity to create a smarter, safer, and more efficient world.

How does CLEARSITE™ deliver real-time RF environment optimization through usage statistics at the network edge?

CLEARSITE™ acts as a persistent "ear" at the network edge, continuously collecting RF data across licensed, unlicensed, and shared bands. It processes this data locally to create a real-time statistical model of spectrum usage.

What sets CLEARSITE™ apart is its ability to correlate spectrum demand with application performance. Rather than waiting for user complaints or core network congestion alerts, CLEARSITE™ detects emerging interference before it impacts performance. This provides actionable insights that allow operators to dynamically reallocate spectrum, prioritize critical traffic, and prevent downtime. For Smart Cities, where every sensor and service relies on reliable connectivity, this proactive optimization is crucial.

Can you explain how CLEARSKY™ identifies and alerts stakeholders to radio frequency threats affecting cyber and physical security?

CLEARSKY™ builds on CLEARSITE™'s monitoring foundation, focusing on security. The RF spectrum has become a target for both cyber and physical threats—such as rogue devices on restricted bands, drones in sensitive airspace, or coordinated jamming efforts.

CLEARSKY™ uses advanced signal classification and anomaly detection to identify these threats in real time. When an anomaly occurs, the system alerts stakeholders with contextual details—what the threat is, its origin, and its impact on operations. In defense, this might protect troops from RF-based attacks, while in Smart Cities, it could identify unauthorized transmissions disrupting critical communications for police, fire, or ambulance services. By treating the spectrum as part of the security perimeter, CLEARSKY™ provides protection in a domain often overlooked.

With over 600 issued and pending patents covering the RF spectrum, what key technical breakthroughs distinguish DGS, and how do they benefit your clients?

Our patents focus on three main areas:

• Persistent monitoring: Traditional approaches rely on periodic testing, but our IP enables continuous visibility without requiring massive hardware deployments.

• Dynamic sharing: We pioneered techniques for reallocating spectrum dynamically between different services, a necessity for emerging 5G and 6G applications.

• Edge AI inference: Many of our patents cover the ability to process RF signals at the edge, reducing latency and enabling real-time responses.

For clients, these breakthroughs translate into improved service reliability, enhanced security, and lower operational costs. Governments can digitize national infrastructure with confidence, while telecom operators can serve customers more efficiently without constantly expanding hardware footprints.

How does DGS’s “visibility at the network edge” improve RF environment management compared to traditional approaches?

Traditional spectrum management relies on centralized data collection, which can introduce delays and often lacks the granularity needed to catch issues before they escalate. Our edge-first approach flips this model. By analyzing signals at the edge, near where devices connect, we gain immediate situational awareness.

For Smart Cities, this means pinpointing which neighborhoods are facing interference and adjusting resources before it impacts essential services. For national utilities, it ensures grid sensors stay connected during peak demand. Edge visibility allows stakeholders to act locally while still contributing to a wider,

Which unique use cases emerge from your experience across sectors like Defense, Transportation, Utilities, Public Safety, and Telecom?

Each sector has its own challenges, but the unifying thread is the need for resilience.

• Defense: Protecting communications from jamming and spoofing during operations.

• Transportation: Ensuring uninterrupted wireless links for air traffic control, railway signaling, or maritime navigation.

• Utilities: Protecting smart grid sensors from interference that could cause blackouts.

• Public Safety: Guaranteeing that police, fire, and EMS radios cut through congestion during emergencies.

• Telecom: Delivering interference-free service in dense urban environments where multiple standards and devices overlap.

In developing countries, we also see agriculture and rural broadband emerging as critical use cases. Our technology enables precision farming, efficient irrigation, and connectivity in regions where laying fiber would take years.

How are your solutions, either embedded in existing hardware or as standalone sensors, tailored to meet different industry requirements?

Flexibility is a key strength of our solution. Some clients require standalone sensors that can be quickly deployed in remote or high-security areas, while others prefer our software embedded directly into their existing infrastructure, like RAN components.

This adaptability enables us to cater to both ends of the spectrum: militaries needing rugged, field-deployable units and telecom operators seeking seamless integration into their networks. For Smart Cities, we often combine both approaches—integrating data from smart streetlights or cameras while adding supplemental RF sensors in strategic locations to extend coverage and provide richer, correlated insights.

As 5G and beyond become mainstream, how is DGS preparing its platform to support ultra-reliable, low-latency applications?

5G, and eventually 6G, are defined by ultra-reliable, low-latency communications (URLLC), which are crucial for applications like autonomous vehicles, telemedicine, and remote manufacturing—where disruptions are unacceptable.

Our edge-based architecture is perfectly suited to these needs. By processing RF signals locally, we minimize latency, while correlating spectrum usage with application performance ensures critical services get the bandwidth and interference-free environment they require. Additionally, our patented dynamic spectrum sharing allows the network to reallocate resources in real time as demand shifts. This makes our platform not just a monitoring tool, but an enabler of next-gen services.
