Sensors & instrumentsWeather and environment stations to WMO practice, RF spectrum sensing in the band, and calibration that is traceable, recorded and repeated. Every value leaves with its metadata, quality flag and provenance. Or buy the observations and leave the hardware to us: Sensing as a Service.

Stories
How it works, in place.
Interactive stories with figures drawn to scale and every claim referenced.
All stories Place: Dense city block The instrumented streetFour city blocks, read as an observing system: small cells on street poles, air-quality and heat sensors beside them, and an edge node that corrects, times…Place: Suburb The suburb as a power stationRooftop solar, home batteries and electric vehicles turn a residential street into thousands of small generators. Observing them is how a distribution grid…Place: Rural village A village at the end of the lineWhere the fibre ends, a single mast, a satellite terminal and a handful of sensors decide whether a village is on the map of observation. Canada’s target is…01 · What this platform covers
Sensors & instruments, area by area.
Choose an area for its systems, standards, the industries it serves and how we deliver it.

You take the observations; we run the hardware.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.
