Where this platform is at work.
Field stories from the network, each with the systems in it and the sources behind it.
Dense city blockThe instrumented street
Four city blocks, read as an observing system: small cells on street poles, air-quality and heat sensors beside them, and an edge node that corrects, times…Read the story →Rural villageA village at the end of the line
Where the fibre ends, a single mast, a satellite terminal and a handful of sensors decide whether a village is on the map of observation. Canada’s target is…Read the story →FarmlandField to forecast
A farm observes water: in the soil, in the crop and in the air above it. Crop water use is computed from weather with a method agronomists have shared for…Read the story →Forest and wildfireSeeing smoke sooner
A fire is cheapest to fight in its first hour. Ridge-top cameras, weather in the stand and satellite hot spots each see it at different times and scales;…Read the story →Coast and portThe port that sees the approach
A port observes three things at once: the ships coming in, the sea they come through and the cranes that receive them. Ship identity travels on a radio…Read the story →Mountains and avalanche terrainSnowpack, slope and signal
Avalanche forecasting reasons about the likelihood and size of avalanches on given terrain. The observations behind it come from a few stations in hard…Read the story →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 →End to endAn observation grid, end to end
An observation is not a reading. It is a reading with a place, a time, a calibration and a path that anyone can follow back. An observing grid is the…Read the story →Private 5G and AI-RANPrivate 5G with the inference in the radio
A private cellular network gives a site its own coverage, its own security and its own priorities. AI-RAN adds a second idea: the accelerators that run the…Read the story →Satellite backhaulWhen the backhaul is a satellite
For a remote site, the satellite is not a backup; it is the network. Since Release 17, the cellular standard includes satellites as part of the radio access…Read the story →LPWAN and meshKilometres on a coin cell
Most environmental sensors send a few bytes a few times an hour. Low-power wide-area networks trade bandwidth for range and battery life; mesh networks…Read the story →Timing and PNTTime as infrastructure
A 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…Read the story →Edge AI inferenceDeciding at the edge
A model that detects smoke, flooding or a fault is most useful where the frame is captured. Running inference at the edge cuts the time to a decision and…Read the story →Resilient operationsWhen the links fail
Observing systems matter most on the days infrastructure fails. Designing for that day means local autonomy, stored power, store-and-forward delivery and…Read the story →OverviewWhat changes by 2030
Six shifts will reshape how the Earth is observed before the decade ends: networks that sense, models that forecast, foundation models that read imagery,…Read the story →6G and sensingNetworks that sense
The framework for 6G names integrated sensing and communication as one of its usage scenarios: the same radio that carries data also measures range,…Read the story →03Documentation
