Satellites, radars, towers, buoys, seismometers and fibre already measure the Earth, each on its own clock, format and terms. The Observatory Protocol gives every instrument one way to join, attest, keep time and publish what it sees. Open, and stewarded by the Nexus Consortium. Designed, deployed and run by Nexus Observatory.
Open specification, open change process, open to any implementer. Nexus Observatory Inc. supports the protocol and builds enterprise systems on it.
Reference designs at true dimensions: lattice towers, edge modules, radars, domes, dishes, floats. Every part is named for what it does. Hover a part; drag to turn.
Where a 30 m mast can see, where water will run, when the next pass images the valley. Interactive explainers on real elevation, from hillshade to a GeoAI detector.
An observatory fails if any one of these fails: wrong science, fragile engineering, lost trust. We design all seven together, not one after another.
Sensors drift, firmware ages, spectrum rules change and the frontier keeps moving. A site is never finished. We carry it through every stage, and bring an upgrade from the frontier only once it is qualified for the field.
Grid, software, hardware, sensors, connectivity, edge AI, Earth observation, field services and data: each line has its own site and team, all nine run on one protocol and one grid. In Canada the seller of record is Nexus Observatory Inc.; elsewhere, Nexus Ecosystem Inc.
The protocol, the atlas, the grid and the methods are public. Fork them, test them, contribute back. Contributors keep their rights. What is open, and on what terms
// enrol a weather station on the grid const node = await grid.enrol({ role: "weather-environment", evidence: await tpm.quote(), describe: { standard: "WIGOS", sensors }, time: { source: "ptp", profile: "G.8275.1" }, }); // UNENROLLED → DISCOVERED → ATTESTING → … node.on("state", (s) => log(s)); await node.observe(stream);
What runs today, what comes next and the frontier the architecture is built to absorb. Everything beyond today is marked planned.
Start on the open protocol and the atlas today. When you are ready to deploy, we design, build and run it with you.
