Protocol & Grid
Your grid, on the open protocol.

Private and federated observing grids for networks, agencies and OEMs: providers admitted for a stated scope, devices qualified against the specification, software moved by signed plan and data exchanged across trust domains. Every step leaves evidence.

01 · What this platform covers

Protocol & Grid, area by area.

Choose an area for its systems, standards, the industries it serves and how we deliver it.

01

Private grids

Your nodes, your authority, the open specification.
02

Federation

Signed exchange across sites, owners and trust domains.
03

Qualification

Devices and releases tested against the protocol, state on record.
04

Provider admission

Manifest, rights and security review, then admitted for scope.
05

Orchestration

Software and configuration by signed plan, with rollback.

02 · Built on the open protocol

One protocol under every platform.

Marked: the functions this platform leans on hardest. The protocol itself is open, so what you build here runs anywhere the protocol runs.
