W-CLOUD is a TCP/IP-based application which enables unin-terrupted and encrypted transfer of high-quality I/Q data from a remote Wavecom decoder device to a central site located W-CODE instance for final processing. The applicati-on works over any WAN, Internet, Ethernet or Wireless LAN connection with appropriate bandwidth and therefore al-lows reliable and input signal true decoding from any loca-tion in the world. Together with other Wavecom products W-CLOUD facilitates the construction of monitoring net-works with a large-scale geographical coverage. W-CLOUD is a very stable application with a tiny footprint based on Windows® Embedded Compact.

W-CLOUD streams I/Q formatted signals from a re-motely installed W-PCI or W-PCIe to a W-CODE in-stance at a central site, and offers a full frequency range of transfers from AF to IF (50 Hz - 25 MHz) and 70 MHz IF +/-17.5 MHz (see the examples be-low). Direct I/Q support for WiNRADiO G33DDC and G39DDC SDRs is in the pipeline. The W-CLOUD server is based on Windows Embed-ded Compact and runs as a Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit application. W-CLOUD can be installed at any desired location offering an Internet, LAN or WAN connection.

The features of W-CLOUD are

Worldwide remote monitoring of radio transmis-sions in any frequency band, anywhere via Inter-net, LAN or WAN.

Signal transfer in perfect and uninterrupted I/Q format

Automatic network search for W-CLOUD servers

All GUI functions of W-PCI and W-PCIe are avail-able exactly as for a direct client-server connec-tion

Secure encryption of data and voice signals

Connections may be interrupted and restored at anytime

Centralized evaluation of acquired signals

W-CLOUD makes possible the remote control of Wavecom applications. The example shows a W-CLOUD connection of a 96 kHz FFT signal. Remote signal acquisition and frequency control works ex-actly as for a local connection. W-CLOUD and high-quality I/Q transfer enables the full func-tionality of all remote analysis functions.

Automatic signal classifica-tion is available using W-CLOUD via WAN or LAN con-nections. Using W-CLOUD, both the narrow and wide band classi-fiers (CL-NB and CL-WB) can be fully remotely controlled. Also Classifier-Code-Check (CCC) is fully functional using W-CLOUD.

W-CODE input devices appear ex-actly the same way independently of being accessed locally or via W-CLOUD networking and are inte-grated in the same menu. W-CLOUD networking is initiated using Plug-and-Play and the IP ad-dress or device name of the re-mote server. The „W-CODE Devices and Net-working” menu contains all static and dynamic information on local and remote input devices and net-work connections. All functions are available from W-CODE Version 8.2.00.

The example above shows remote control of an

ICOM® IC-9100 receiver using RS-BA1 Remote-Control Software and remote decoding using W-CODE and W-CLOUD. The 36 kHz IF of the receiver

is sent to the W-PCIe card acting as a DDC client which forwards the I/Q signal to a centrally located W-CODE application. All HF, VHF, UHF and SHF modes can be decoded with this setup.
