Enterprise offers, each designed, deployed and run on the open protocol, and each linked to the service platforms that build it. [Plan a deployment](https://observatory.global/contact/deployment/) [Use cases](https://observatory.global/industries/industry/use-cases/) [Open the explainer](https://observatory.global/industries/industry/explainer/) Reference design, drawn to scale · drag to turn 1. Industry · Solutions Plants and ports, sensed and connected Private wireless and edge inference on the plant floor, fenceline and emissions monitoring, rugged hardware for harsh sites, and operational-technology assurance for the observing systems inside the fence. Needs: emissions at the fenceline, process environment, coverage across the site, inference close to the line and security of operational technology. 2. Solution Private Wireless as a Service Standalone private 5G or LTE for a site, campus, port or mine: radios, core, SIMs, spectrum route and operations. For industrial operators, ports, campuses, venues, public safety. Delivered as managed service and hardware + software. Per site; fleets of sites. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 3. Solution Edge inference for infrastructure Models running beside the instrument on video, radar and sensor streams for assets and hazards; only results move upstream. No profiling of individuals. For infrastructure operators, utilities, agencies. Delivered as managed service and software licence. Fleets of sites. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 4. Solution Environmental and permit monitoring Emissions, water quality, noise and dust monitoring for permit conditions, with traceable calibration and evidence bundles. For industrial operators, municipalities, regulators. Delivered as managed service and data licence. Site to portfolio. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 5. Solution Rugged field hardware and reference designs Enclosures, racks, sensor nodes and gateways built for heat, cold, dust, water and shock; reference designs for OEMs. For OEMs, integrators, operators. Delivered as hardware sales and design licence. Volume manufacturing through partners. Changes are versioned, tested and reversible. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 6. Solution Mine, plant and port site monitoring Slope radar, tailings monitoring, dust and water, and site connectivity for operations and closure. For mining, heavy industry, ports. Delivered as managed service and hardware + software. Site portfolios. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure. It is delivered and supported by Nexus Observatory Inc. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 7. Solution Operational-technology assurance for observing sites Identity, attestation, segmentation and monitoring for instruments and edge nodes, with evidence for audits. Stated as services, never as a security guarantee. For operators of critical sites, agencies. Delivered as managed service and professional services. Fleets of sites. The same design repeats from the first site to the last. [Talk to sales](https://observatory.global/contact/sales-enquiry/) 8. Scenario Mine-wide private LTE or 5G with environmental sensing Autonomy communications plus dust, blast vibration, slope and tailings monitoring. It builds on the same base node, timing, trust and operations as every other industry deployment, so it can start small and grow site by site. Service levels are written as numbers you can measure. 9. Scenario Utility private LTE for the grid edge Distribution automation, distributed-energy control and wildfire-risk weather on a dedicated band. It builds on the same base node, timing, trust and operations as every other industry deployment, so it can start small and grow site by site. It runs on the open Observatory Protocol, so other providers can join. 10. 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. 11. 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. 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 an industry deployment Tell us the sites, the measurements and the people who will use them. We reply with a design and a scope for industry. 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.

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. ### Ready when you are.
