AI systems
Continuous training and deployment to edge fleets
Pipelines that retrain, test and roll models out to sites in stages.
We design, integrate and operate.

Into the product: a prototype that passed its pilot becoming a production unit. The loop, step by step: 1. A prototype on the bench beside a finished unit. 2. The prototype is measured against the unit. 3. Each reading is stamped with time and place. 4. Results reach the review board. 5. Relays carry the packets without reading them. 6. The edge verifies every signature first. 7. The board checks cost, risk and benefit. 8. Only a confirmed result leaves the edge. 9. The design is frozen and tooled. 10. Sensors check that the response worked. 11. The first production units are crated. 12. The alert arrives with its evidence attached. 13. Record, proof and action are archived together. 14. Everything settles back to idle.

Into the productFrom a result to a qualified release.
Into the product, inside Frontier labs: continuous training and deployment to edge fleets, drift and performance monitoring, model provenance and signing, build provenance and more. Every item is traced to its specification, from 3GPP TS 28.105 (AI/ML management) to OpenGitOps principles, and runs on the open Observatory Protocol.

01What it is
MLOps.
AI from model to accountable operation: edge inference and model optimisation, foundation models for Earth observation and geospatial work, time-series and sensor AI, multimodal fusion and supervised agentic operations, federated and privacy-preserving learning, physical AI and robotics within stated red lines, MLOps, evaluation and model risk, and the governance frameworks that apply to each. Compute placed where data is produced and decisions are needed: the device, far, near and regional edge tiers, multi-access edge computing, modular edge data centres including the AI tower in a box, servers and accelerators, storage, power and cooling, ruggedisation, fleet orchestration, OTA and GitOps, and the hardware trust that makes remote sites safe to run. Each technology below carries what it is, what we do with it, and the standard it is drawn against.

03On the grid
Every site joins one observing grid.
The open networks on the grid today, over real relief and the geodesic cells we count them into, filtered to the space domain this area serves. A site built here enrols into the same grid.
