Specialized fields
Public safety, field by field.

Public safety is a set of hazards that each give a different warning time and call for a different response. A wildfire seen from a tower, a flash flood rising in a street, a slope starting to move, an earthquake’s first waves, an avalanche above a road and an incident where crews need their own network each measure different things for different agencies. Each field below has its own stack, radio, power and crew work, from the first order to the running operation.

01Specialized fields

Choose the field you work in.

Each field page sets out the operating context and hazards, what must be measured and under which rules, the stack from base unit to network, the work from order to operation, the data products and the cited sources.

Specialized field

Wildfire detection and response

Smoke detection from towers, fire weather and danger, thermal confirmation and satellite hotspots, on microwave and satellite to the fire agency’s dispatch, so a start is seen in minutes.The full field →Specialized field

Flash and urban floods

Rain and water depth in streets, culverts and small streams, with cameras at known flood points, on LoRaWAN and cellular, so warnings reach people in the minutes a flash flood allows.The full field →Specialized field

Landslides and debris flows

Ground movement by GNSS, pore pressure and rainfall thresholds, ground vibration for debris flows, on LoRaWAN and satellite from unstable slopes to the agency that warns and closes roads.The full field →Specialized field

Earthquakes and early warning

Strong-motion and broadband seismometers, GNSS for large events, structural response in key buildings, on fibre and cellular with timing that lets a warning outrun the shaking.The full field →Specialized field

Avalanches and mountain roads

Snow and weather on the slopes, avalanche detection by radar and infrasound, cameras on the paths, on microwave and satellite to the road and the avalanche service, so roads close before the snow comes down.The full field →Specialized field

Incident response and deployable networks

A network that arrives with the crews: cell on wheels, satellite, mesh, drones, gas and thermal sensing at the scene, so incident command sees and talks when local networks are down.The full field →

02Solution bundles

Start with one unit. Grow to a network.

The same systems at every scale, on the open protocol, so nothing you buy is replaced as you grow.

  1. 01

    Base unit

    One station or node, specified for this industry: instruments, power, enclosure and backhaul.

    Build a station →
  2. 02

    Site

    A surveyed, commissioned site with its timing, its links and the evidence file a buyer can audit.

    Plan a site →
  3. 03

    Fleet

    Many sites run as one service: one plan, one update path, one evidence trail, one service level.

  4. 04

    Network

    Fleets that federate with partner grids through the open protocol, owner by owner.
