Sensors & instrumentsMeasurements 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.

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.
01Instruments
Atmosphere, water, ground and sky.02Weather and environment
WMO siting practice, WIGOS metadata.03RF sensing
Occupancy and interference, measured in the band.04Calibration

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.
