Platform
Everything runs on your site. Nothing runs on ours.
Terminals. Base Station.
Core + Skills.
A self-hosted industrial telemetry and automation stack. Hardware connects your equipment to a private LoRa network you own. Core handles ingestion, messaging, and a base operator interface. Skills turn that data into dashboards, alerting, and control.
Architecture
Five layers. Zero gaps.
Every component is designed to work together and run on your hardware. No cloud required. No network fees.
Skills and Core run on the Base Station. Connectivity is the private LoRa network between Terminals and the Base Station.
Field Nodes
Modulink Terminals connect to your existing sensors and transmit encrypted telemetry over private LoRa. IP67 enclosures, wide-voltage DC input with optional battery or solar pack.
- Process inputs4-20mA analog (pressure, flow, level, temperature)
- General analogAdditional analog inputs for soil tension, voltage sensing, and generic analog sensors
- Digital outputsPWM outputs for discrete control, relay drivers, and sensor excitation
- ActuationH-bridge motor control — DC latching solenoid valves, controlled voltage output, direct motor drive
- RFPrivate LoRa · AES-128 encrypted · 915 MHz ISM band
Private LoRa Network
Your own private wireless network — not WiFi, not cellular. LoRa spread-spectrum at 915 MHz reaches 5+ km open-air and deep into industrial structures. No SIM cards, no carrier fees, no monthly data costs.
- Range5+ km open-air · 500m–1.5 km through industrial structures
- Spectrum915 MHz ISM band — license-free
- SecurityAES-128 encryption in transit
- CostNo SIM cards, no carrier fees, no monthly data costs
Edge Server
The Base Station runs the full software stack on-site. Single-tenant per deployment. Offline-first. All data stored locally on encrypted storage with multi-year rolling retention.
- ArchitectureContainerized application stack — modular, updatable, independently deployable
- StorageLocal time-series database on LUKS-encrypted SSD — years of rolling retention at typical telemetry rates
- Network serverPrivate wireless network server on-site
- MessagingLocal MQTT broker for real-time event streaming
- ReliabilityAuto-restart on failure · Expected uptime: 99.5%
Ingestion & Messaging Layer
Core is the connectivity foundation — device provisioning, telemetry ingestion, local time-series storage, and a base operator interface. Runs on the Base Station with zero cloud dependency. Included with every deployment.
- Device managementProvisioning, connectivity, and health monitoring
- IngestionTelemetry ingestion pipeline and local time-series database
- Operator UIDevice list, device detail, generic sensor views, live data and charts
- ContinuityCore keeps running even if you cancel a Skill subscription — your sensors never go dark
Application Modules
Skills are application modules that plug into Core and run on the Base Station. They turn raw telemetry into operator outcomes — dashboards, alerting, field maps, valve control. Subscription licensed per Base Station.
- CIP MonitorSkid/process monitoring, state engine, operator dashboard, valve control
- Field IntelligenceSoil tension, GPS-tagged field/zone mapping, manual valve control
- AlertingSMS, email, webhook notifications, escalation rules
- Custom SkillsDon't see your vertical? We build Skills based on customer needs.
Capabilities
Engineered for operations, not demos.
Architecture & Security
Single-Tenant, Your Site
Every deployment is isolated. Your Base Station runs your data on your network. Your data never touches shared infrastructure. Cloud features are optional, never required.
Encrypted End-to-End
Encrypted over the air. LUKS encryption at rest. STIG-hardened base image. RSA key-based remote access, optional and customer-controlled. Single-tenant isolation at every layer.
Rolling Data Retention
Local encrypted storage with rolling retention — years of data at typical telemetry rates. No cloud archival required.
Connectivity & Integration
Private LoRa — No Carrier Fees
Your network, on your site. 5+ km open-air range. No SIM cards, no cellular bills, no coverage gaps inside metal buildings.
Works With What You Have
Connects to existing 4-20mA process sensors and digital I/O. SCADA and PLC integration available on request — no rip and replace.
Modular Architecture
Add sensors, controllers, and Skills incrementally. Start with telemetry on one skid. Scale across your entire operation.
Updates & Operations
Over-the-Air Firmware Updates
Terminal firmware updated over the LoRa network — no truck rolls for software changes. Authenticated and encrypted delivery.
Live Skill Deployment
Skills and Core are independently updatable on the Base Station. No downtime for Skill updates.
Auto-Recovery
Base Station services restart automatically on failure. Expected platform uptime: 99.5%.
Security
Designed for environments
where isolation matters.
- Encrypted RF in transit
- LUKS encryption on Base Station SSD (data at rest)
- STIG-hardened base image
- RSA key-based remote access (optional, customer-controlled)
- Single-tenant architecture — full deployment isolation
- All data local by default — cloud sync opt-in only
- Firmware updates authenticated and encrypted, delivered over the air
