  1. Water · Solutions

    Every catchment, gauged

    Stream gauges and rain networks, groundwater and water-quality sensing, flood observing for utilities and basin authorities, and Earth observation of reservoirs, snow and inundation, delivered with the completeness a hydrologist checks first. Needs: river level and discharge, rainfall and snow, groundwater, water quality and inundation extent.

  2. Solution

    Hydrometeorological and flood observing networks

    Stream gauges, rain gauges, weather radar and automatic weather stations built to WMO practice, reporting through WIS 2.0 where the agency requires it. For national meteorological and hydrological services, river-basin agencies, utilities. Delivered as hardware + software, managed service and build-operate-transfer.

  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 water 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 water 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 a water deployment

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

Sewer levels and overflow events, pumping station status, treatment plant effluent and receiving water quality, to cut overflows and prove compliance.The full field →
Specialized field

Lakes and reservoirs

Buoys and profilers for temperature, oxygen and algae, inflow and level, satellite views of blooms, so water suppliers and lake managers act before a bloom closes a source or a beach.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 →

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.
