Explainer · Communities and rural Communities and ruralCommunity cellular coverage on real terrain, fixed-wireless Fresnel clearance, corridors, a remote microgrid sized from its load and interim public-safety broadband.Explainer · Environment and climate Environment and climate — SectorsMethane fencelines, acoustic biodiversity grids, flux towers, river sondes and smoke networks: an interactive explainer with the method behind every number.Platform Positioning, navigation and timingA wrong timestamp is a wrong answerPlatform Edge compute & AIThe archive is too lateStories
Story · Timing and PNT Time as infrastructureA 5G cell must hold its phase within 3 µs of its neighbours, ±1.5 µs of a common reference; a synchrophasor’s one per cent vector error leaves room for only…Story · Mountains and avalanche terrain Snowpack, slope and signalAvalanche forecasting reasons about the likelihood and size of avalanches on given terrain. The observations behind it come from a few stations in hard…Story · 6G and sensing Networks that senseThe framework for 6G names integrated sensing and communication as one of its usage scenarios: the same radio that carries data also measures range,…Places and networks
Guided tour · Guided 3D tour Arctic stationA 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.Guided tour · Guided 3D tour Orbit viewGround tracks of a sun-synchronous imager and three shells of a broadband constellation, computed from their orbits over a rotating Earth.Guided tour · Guided 3D tour Coastal portCoastal radar and AIS watch the approach, a met-ocean buoy reports the sea state, and crane-side edge compute closes the control loop on a private network.Network scene · Private 5G · Port Private 5G at a container portSmall cells on the yard lighting masts and a sector site on the operations building serve remote-controlled cranes and trucks among steel container stacks.Network scene · NTN · Satellite Satellite direct to device in a mountain valleyWhere the valley cell cannot reach, phones on the pass road connect straight to a low-orbit satellite, which relays through its feeder link to a gateway.Heritage observatories
Heritage observatory · Germany · 1781 Hohenpeißenberg Meteorological ObservatoryA mountain-top weather station in Bavaria that has recorded without a break since 1 January 1781, started as a node of the first international weather society.Heritage observatory · United States · 1921 Caltech Seismological LaboratoryA laboratory in Pasadena that gave earthquakes a number. The Richter magnitude scale of 1935 depended on one instrument type in many places, a lesson as relevant to networks today…Interactive tools

Airspace and dronesA shared sky below 120 metres
Flying beyond visual line of sight turns a drone from a camera on a stick into infrastructure. It needs a command link that holds, an identity others can… Read the story →OrbitOrbits as infrastructure
Low orbits are fast and crowded, high orbits slow and spacious. Every choice of altitude is a trade between delay, footprint and how long the satellite… Read the story →Timing and PNTTime as infrastructure
