Specialized fields
Transport, field by field.

Transport is a set of networks that each carry people and goods under their own rules. A highway with its bridges, a railway through cuttings and viaducts, a container port, an airport, a long tunnel, a city’s metro and buses and an inland waterway with its locks each measure different things for different operators. 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

Roads and bridges

Road weather and surface state, traffic counts, bridge vibration and scour, and cameras along the corridor, on cellular and fibre to the traffic centre, for safer winters and evidence-based maintenance.The full field →Specialized field

Railways

Earthworks and structures, track-side weather and flooding, rail temperature and cameras at level crossings, on the railway’s own mobile network and fibre, for fewer speed restrictions and safer lines.The full field →Specialized field

Ports and terminals

Wind for cranes, water levels and depths, air quality and noise at the boundary, and cameras over the quays, on a private 5G network across the terminal and fibre to the port’s systems.The full field →Specialized field

Airports

Weather beside the runways, wind shear and visibility support, aircraft noise and air quality in the communities around, on the airport’s fibre and private network, alongside the official aviation weather service.The full field →Specialized field

Road and rail tunnels

Air quality and visibility, air flow and ventilation, fire detection, cameras and radio coverage inside the tube, on a radiating cable and fibre with an industrial network kept apart from the internet.The full field →Specialized field

Urban transit

Passenger counts, station air and climate, escalator and lift condition, traction energy and cameras for metros, trams and buses, on private 5G and fibre, with real-time information riders can use.The full field →Specialized field

Inland waterways and locks

Water levels and depths, flows at weirs, wind and visibility, and cameras at locks and bridges, on LoRaWAN and cellular along the river, feeding the river information services skippers use.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.

    Managed offers →
  4. 04

    Network

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