Agriculture · Frontier
Agrometeorological stations and soil-moisture profiles, frost and disease alerts, low-power coverage across the farm, crop condition from orbit and drone, and cooperative networks where neighbours share one grid. Needs: soil moisture and evapotranspiration, frost, heat and disease risk, crop condition, water use and coverage across fields.
At the frontier
Sensors that report changes per pixel at microsecond rates with very low power. We integrate it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. Every reading and every change leaves a record that can be checked later.
At the frontier
Atomic sensors with higher sensitivity and less drift for geophysics and navigation backup. We integrate it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. It runs on the open Observatory Protocol, so other providers can join.
At the frontier
Acoustic, temperature and strain sensing along existing fibre for seismic, slope and pipeline monitoring. We design, integrate and deploy it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. The same design repeats from the first site to the last.
At the frontier
Correcting low-cost sensors against reference sites with models whose drift is monitored. We design, integrate and operate it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. Crews, software and records stay the same as the network grows.
At the frontier
Unattended water sampling for biodiversity and pathogen detection. We integrate it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. Crews, software and records stay the same as the network grows.
At the frontier
Field-scale soil moisture and snow water from neutron counts. We design, integrate and deploy it. We take it to a real agriculture site under a written pilot plan before it becomes a release. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure.
Trust
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.
Time and place
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.
Updates
Software and configuration reach the fleet in rings: a canary site first, then a few, then all, each ring gated on health and data completeness. A failed gate stops the wave and returns each node to its last good release, without a site visit.
Operations
The operations console shows every node with its state, its plan and its evidence. Alerts arrive with their data and a runbook; acknowledging one opens a work order, and an incident closes only when the cause is recorded and the fix verified.
What you get
Soil moisture profiles, micro-weather and evapotranspiration with irrigation thresholds per field. Delivered as managed service and data licence, for growers, agribusiness, irrigation districts, crop insurers. Scale: Farm to region. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.

Tell us the sites, the measurements and the people who will use them. We reply with a design and a scope for agriculture. 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.
