Sensors & instruments

Measurements that carry their own proof.

Weather 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.

In the field

Mountain valley site

A private 5G tower, an automatic weather station, a compact radar and a seismic vault on real alpine terrain, joined to an edge data centre that admits, times and publishes every observation.

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.

01

Instruments

Atmosphere, water, ground and sky.
02

Weather and environment

WMO siting practice, WIGOS metadata.
03

RF sensing

Occupancy and interference, measured in the band.
04

Calibration

Traceable to reference, recorded, repeated.
05

Sensing as a Service

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 and stewarded by the Nexus Consortium, so what you build here runs anywhere the protocol runs.
