Y1 Interface

Technical Explanation

ISAC transforms the cellular network into a ubiquitous radar sensor. The Y1 interface, standardized by the O-RAN Alliance, provides the secure bridge between radio sensing engines and external consumers. Through Y1, authorized traffic management systems, weather agencies, autonomous vehicle fleets, and drone air-traffic systems subscribe to real-time target tracking vectors, 3D obstacle point clouds, and rain precipitation maps generated by cellular radio signals.

Key Functions

• Standardized exposure of radio sensing and radar telemetry to authorized consumers
• Subscription mechanisms for 3D target tracking, velocity vectors, and intrusion zones
• Privacy filtering and spatial anonymization preventing unauthorized surveillance
• Delivering environmental weather and rain clutter metrics to meteorological agencies
• Direct integration with smart city traffic management and drone airspace systems
