Hardware for any site: power, enclosures and masts assembled on one pad. The loop, step by step: 1. Power, shelter and rack, one site kit. 2. The chain from source to console stands ready. 3. Dusk falls and the panels stop producing. 4. The inverter switches the site to battery. 5. Time and place are fixed to every sample. 6. The rack keeps reporting through the night. 7. Relays carry the packets without reading them. 8. Signatures are checked before any model runs. 9. The controller trims noncritical loads. 10. The edge releases confirmed results only. 11. Cabinets hold their temperature in the cold. 12. Sensors check that the response worked. 13. The site owner sees the battery margin. 14. The console shows the evidence with the alert. 15. Record, proof and action are archived together. 16. Dawn comes and the panels take over.

Power, shelter and rack, one site kit

Nexus Observatory

Hardware & power

Built for the site, not the lab.

Sensor nodes to 7U racks, enclosures and masts, solar, battery and microgrid power sized to the load, ruggedisation specified for heat, cold, dust, water and shock, and platforms that move: vehicles, vessels and airborne.

At a glance

Built for the site, not the lab

Hardware & power delivers sensor nodes, gateways, racks, shelters and masts, with solar, battery and microgrid power matched to the load and ruggedisation specified per site. Platforms that move, from vehicles to vessels, are part of the same family. Every piece belongs to one family, with the same mounting, power and connector practice, so crews meet familiar equipment on every site.

The lab is kind; the site is not

Cold that kills batteries, heat that throttles processors, dust, salt, water and shock: field equipment fails at the site, not on the bench. Hardware has to be specified for the place it will live, and powered for the nights it will run alone.

The lab is kind; the site is not

Form factors
Node, gateway, rack, shelter
The form factor follows the job: a node beside an instrument, a gateway for a cluster of sensors, a transit rack for compute that must travel, a shelter where people work. All share the same software and the same record.
See Form factors
The base node
One enclosure, every essential
The smallest base node has a sealed enclosure, fanless compute, isolated instrument inputs, surge protection and two radio paths. Larger form factors add capacity in the same pattern, so a site can grow from a pole to a rack without changing how it is run.
The system
One station, part by part
Before anything is installed, the station is laid out as its parts: instrument, logger and edge compute, secure element, GNSS timing, radio, power, enclosure, wiring, earthing, mast and foundation.
Assembly
Built and tested before it ships
Each part is fitted to the pole and the enclosure, wired through surge protection to one earth, powered and bench-tested until it signs its first reading.
Deployment
Site after site, one design
The same station goes in at every site on the plan, each commissioned against the same checklist, until the field is covered.
Wiring
Signal, power and time, wired
Inside one site the instrument’s signal pair runs to the logger, solar charges the battery that feeds the load, GNSS time reaches the clock and the logger hands its records to the radio.
Mobile and deployable
Sites that travel
Transit racks, field shelters and vehicle kits bring a complete node to an incident, a campaign or a temporary event, and join the same fleet the moment they power up. A deployable kit carries its own power, timing and backhaul, and returns to stores with its record updated after every deployment.
See Mobile and deployable
OEM
Co-engineering with makers
Instrument and enclosure makers co-engineer with us to put their products on the protocol: identity, metadata, timing and signed data built in, tested and recorded in the device class catalogue. The result is equipment that arrives on site already speaking the protocol, with nothing left to integrate by hand.
See OEM Partner with us
Connections
Backhaul, time and power
The relay carries every site to the edge over a point-to-point link, the grandmaster’s time reaches every clock, and each site keeps its power through the night.
Power
Power matched to the load and the night
Solar, battery and generator are chosen from the measured load and the site’s worst season, then monitored like any other instrument. A node that knows its own battery state can shed non-essential loads before it goes dark. Power budgets are written down and checked against what the site really draws after commissioning, then reviewed every season.
See Power
Ruggedisation
Ingress, thermal, vibration and shock
Each site gets a written environmental specification: ingress protection, operating and storage temperature, vibration and shock. Equipment is chosen and tested against that specification, not against a catalogue promise. The specification is kept with the site record, so a replacement part is chosen against the same requirements as the original.

Reference designs
Drawn, specified, repeatable
Reference designs capture what works: the drawing, the bill of materials, the power budget and the test results, so other builders can repeat them. Each design is versioned, so a site built from it can be traced to the exact drawing and parts list it used.
See Reference designs
Maintenance
Designed to be serviced
Field-replaceable modules, labelled terminals and a site record that lists every part mean a crew can swap a failed unit in one visit. Spares are planned from the fleet’s own failure history. Maintenance intervals come from measured wear and failure rates, not from a calendar alone, and every swap is recorded against the unit’s history.
How it scales
Add units, not redesigns
A station is a base node plus instruments, power and radio; a site is stations plus a relay; a fleet is the site repeated. Capacity grows by adding modules and units of the same family, never by a forklift upgrade.
What you get
Kits, plans and bills of materials
Device classes with 3D models and reference designs (licence pending) are open. Kit supply, bills of materials and deployment plans, and OEM co-engineering are contracted, priced per site and per fleet. Prices follow the site and the fleet, and lead times are agreed against your programme before anything is ordered.
