Oceans: from the coastline to the open ocean: what we deliver. The loop, step by step: 1. A valley site at first light. 2. Sensor, link, edge and console stand ready. 3. Cloud and wind sweep up the valley. 4. The station and the vault register it. 5. Each reading is stamped with time and place. 6. Signed packets hop over the radio link. 7. The relay forwards sealed packets untouched. 8. Signatures are checked before any model runs. 9. The edge model checks it against its limit. 10. The edge releases confirmed results only. 11. The alert reaches the operator console. 12. The console shows the evidence with the alert. 13. The whole chain is archived for audit. 14. Everything settles back to idle.

  1. Oceans · Solutions

    From the coastline to the open ocean

    Wave buoys and tide gauges, profiling floats and coastal water quality, ports and shipping lanes, and satellite links where no cable runs, with every observation carrying its position, time and quality flag. Needs: waves, tides and sea level, water temperature and salinity, coastal water quality, port and vessel conditions and connectivity at sea.

  2. Solution

    Ocean and coastal observing

    Moored buoys, profiling floats, tide and wave gauges, coastal radar and AIS reception with quality-controlled feeds. For ports, coastal agencies, offshore energy, fisheries. Delivered as managed service and data licence. Coastline to basin. It runs on the open Observatory Protocol, so other providers can join.

  3. Solution

    Satellite and non-terrestrial backhaul

    LEO and GEO backhaul, 3GPP non-terrestrial integration and direct-to-device fallbacks for remote sites. For remote operators, humanitarian logistics, utilities. Delivered as managed service. Any latitude with coverage. It runs on the open Observatory Protocol, so other providers can join. Crews, software and records stay the same as the network grows.

  7. Scenario

    Methane fenceline and site-level continuous monitoring

    Regulatory cadences in the EU and reporting levels in voluntary frameworks. It builds on the same base node, timing, trust and operations as every other oceans deployment, so it can start small and grow site by site. Crews, software and records stay the same as the network grows.

  8. Scenario

    Biodiversity measurement with acoustics and camera traps

    Acoustic baselines as a biodiversity data source; no registry methodology accepting acoustic data was found. It builds on the same base node, timing, trust and operations as every other oceans deployment, so it can start small and grow site by site.

  9. How it works

    From instrument to record, in one chain

    An instrument reads; the base node checks the value, stamps time and place, signs it and sends it over the link the site has: cellular, LoRaWAN, private 5G or satellite. The edge verifies the signature before admitting it, and the core catalogues it with its metadata, quality flag and licence.

  10. Trust

    Every node proves what it is

    A node joins only after its hardware root of trust answers an attestation challenge. Keys stay in secure hardware, software arrives signed, and every reading carries a signature, so its origin can be checked by anyone downstream without asking us.

  11. Time and place

    Every reading carries when and where

    Readings are stamped against a disciplined clock, from satellite time or a PTP grandmaster, together with the station position and its siting record. When time or position is degraded, the record says so instead of hiding it, and every analyst downstream sees the same warning.

  12. What you get

    Open where it can be, contracted where it must be

    The protocol, methods and open data are free to use and build on. Sites, fleets, managed operations and data tiers are delivered under contract by Nexus Observatory Inc., priced per site and per fleet, with service levels written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

  13. Next step

    Plan an oceans deployment

    Tell us the sites, the measurements and the people who will use them. We reply with a design and a scope for oceans. An engineer replies with a survey proposal and a scope, and the plan grows from one site to the network you need, at your pace.

Specialized field

Waves and coastal buoys

Moored buoys that measure waves, wind and sea temperature off ports and coasts, for safe navigation, coastal design and the warnings that keep people off dangerous seas.The full field →
Specialized field

Coastal and bathing water quality

Sondes and samplers at beaches, estuaries and aquaculture zones that watch temperature, oxygen, turbidity and algal blooms, so authorities protect bathers and shellfish in time.The full field →
Specialized field

Underwater noise

Hydrophone moorings that measure ship noise, piling and other sound in the sea, for marine protection duties, offshore construction and the animals that depend on hearing.The full field →

06The path

From first call to a running site.

01

Scope

02

Design

Survey, a reference design, a bill of materials and a plan, drawn against the protocol and the standards.

03

Deploy and run

Installation, commissioning on test, then operation by your team or ours, with evidence on record.

07Questions 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.
