Communities: connectivity and observation the community owns: the site at a glance. The loop, step by step: 1. Evening falls on the village. 2. The chain from source to console stands ready. 3. Lamps and radios raise the evening load. 4. The home meter logs the rising demand. 5. Time and place are fixed to every sample. 6. Cell and dish carry it to the edge. 7. Relays carry the packets without reading them. 8. Signatures are checked before any model runs. 9. The local edge sizes tonight’s battery draw. 10. The edge releases confirmed results only. 11. The operator and the clinic see the plan. 12. The alert arrives with its evidence attached. 13. Storage carries the village through the night. 14. Sensors check that the response worked. 15. Record, proof and action are archived together. 16. Dawn returns and the panels take over.

Communities
Connectivity and observation the community owns.

Community cellular and broadband, microgrids that keep them on, and local weather, water and ice stations, designed so the community holds the network, the data and the decisions about both.

Guided 3D tour

Arctic station

A self-powered station on the ice: a microgrid, a low-orbit satellite terminal, a weather station, a GNSS monument and an edge node that holds data through the polar night.

03Specialized fields

Communities, field by field.

Rural and Indigenous communities need infrastructure they own and can run: their own cellular and broadband, power from a community microgrid, safe water from a small system and warnings that reach every household. Each field below has its own rules, stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first conversation to a network the community runs itself.

Specialized field

11Questions buyers ask

Before you scope it.

Who sells, and who owns the data?

Nexus Observatory Inc. is the seller of record. The data your systems collect stays yours, under the licence you choose.

Do we have to buy hardware?

No. We deliver as a managed service, a data licence or a system you own.

Can we start small?

Yes. Start with one station or one site, then grow to a fleet and a network on the same open protocol, without replacing what you bought.

Which standards do the systems meet?

Each system is drawn against the open protocol and the standards it is composed from, listed on this page.

What happens after go-live?

We run the systems to a written service level, with monitoring, repair and an evidence trail, or train your team to run them.
