Energy · Use cases
The grid edge, observed
Right-of-way and line monitoring, fire weather along transmission corridors, microgrids and site power, timing for protection and synchrophasors, and resource measurement for solar and wind that a lender can rely on. Needs: line and right-of-way condition, fire weather along corridors, solar and wind resource, timing for protection and substation and site power.
Use case
Remote microgrid observatory
Solar, storage and power-quality telemetry with a weather station and a small cell, for a community that is reducing diesel. For remote communities, utilities, Indigenous power producers. Data products: diesel offset and power-quality records and solar-resource measurements. Drawn against IEEE 1547, IEEE 2030.5 and National electrical codes.

Use case
Bankable solar and wind resource station
A met mast or lidar with secondary-standard pyranometers and a traceable calibration chain, for a measurement campaign lenders accept. For renewable-energy developers. Data products: resource datasets with data-recovery statistics. Drawn against IEC 61724-1 (PV monitoring classes), IEC 61400-12 and 61400-50-3, MEASNET procedures and ISO/IEC 17025 calibration.

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.
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.
How it scales
One base unit, repeated
A programme starts with one base node and the instruments it reads. A station adds power and radio, a site adds a relay, a fleet repeats the proven site across many places, and a network federates fleets through edge and core. Capacity grows by adding units, never by replacing what works.
Updates
Updates in rings, with rollback
Software and configuration reach the fleet in rings: a canary site first, then a few, then all, each ring gated on health and data completeness. A failed gate stops the wave and returns each node to its last good release, without a site visit.
Operations
Every node watched, every incident closed
The operations console shows every node with its state, its plan and its evidence. Alerts arrive with their data and a runbook; acknowledging one opens a work order, and an incident closes only when the cause is recorded and the fix verified.
Field service
One crew, from survey to repair
The same crew surveys, installs, commissions, calibrates and repairs, working from the site’s own record. Each visit updates it, so the next crew knows exactly what is there, when it was last checked and why it was changed. Spares and references are planned from that history.
What you get
Power-grid edge and right-of-way monitoring
Line temperature and sag, vegetation encroachment from EO and LiDAR, substation sensors and fire-weather at the right-of-way. Delivered as managed service and data licence, for electric utilities and transmission operators. Scale: Utility service territories. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure on your own dashboard.
