  • Watching a forest for wildfire: a reference design

    In a remote forest, the earliest minutes of a fire decide what follows. This reference design shows how a wildfire observing site can watch for smoke, measure fire weather the way agencies already use it, and…

  • Observing a transmission corridor: a reference design

    A high-voltage line is limited by heat, sag and the ground beneath it. This reference design shows how a transmission corridor observing site can watch the conductor, the weather on the line and the vegetation below,…

  • Observing a river basin: a reference design

    A flood warning is worth what it gives people time to do. This reference design shows how a river basin observing site measures rain and river, wins lead time from upstream, and keeps warning when its…

  • Observing an open-pit mine: a reference design

    An open-pit mine moves rock every day, and every move changes the slopes, the ground and the air around it. This reference design shows how a mine observing site watches slope movement, blast effects and dust,…

  • Observing a mountain valley: a reference design

    In a mountain valley, snow, slope and weather change faster than any one observer can follow. This reference design shows how a valley observing site watches them together, works around the terrain, and keeps deciding when…

  • A ground station for Earth observation: a reference design

    An Earth observation ground station has minutes to catch each satellite pass and the time until the next one to turn it into products. This reference design shows how the antenna, radio, clock and edge work…

  • Observing in the Arctic: a reference design

    An Arctic observing station has to measure a fast-changing region with no grid, no fibre and months without sun. This reference design shows how one station can do that, budget every watt and keep its record…

  • Observing a coastal port: a reference design

    A port works at the meeting point of weather, water and traffic. This reference design shows how one observing site can watch all three, keep working when its links fail, and hand every value on with…

  • Deciding where the data is born

    Edge computing moves a decision to the place where an observation is made. Choosing between the edge and the cloud is a design question about latency, backhaul, privacy and how models stay current.
