03Specialized fields

Telecom, field by field.

Digital infrastructure is physical. A mobile site on a hill with its batteries and tower, a fibre route under roads and fields, an edge data centre with its power and cooling, a satellite ground station watching the rain and a spectrum monitoring network listening for interference each need their own measurements, under their own standards. Each field below has its own stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation.

Specialized field

Mobile network sites

Power and batteries, shelter climate, tower movement, intrusion and site weather at every mobile site, with an out-of-band path that reports when the site itself is down.The full field →
Specialized field

Fibre networks and outside plant

Distributed fibre sensing along routes, flooding and gas in chambers, and cabinet access and climate, on LoRaWAN and the fibre itself, so dig-ins and faults are found before the cable is cut.The full field →
Specialized field

Edge data centres

Power and energy, cooling and air, leaks and vibration in edge and regional data centres, on an industrial network behind a security gateway, with efficiency indicators to the standard.The full field →
Specialized field

Satellite ground stations

Rain, wind and lightning at the antennas, antenna drive condition, timing and site security at satellite ground stations, on the site’s fibre, so passes are planned around the weather and faults are caught between passes.The full field →
Specialized field

Spectrum monitoring and interference

Fixed and mobile receivers that measure occupancy, find interference and locate its source by direction finding and time difference, with GNSS timing, so regulators and operators clear the bands they depend on.The full 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.
