ORB-1
The Platform
How the whole system works, from radios to software: the band plan, the coordination layer, backhaul steering, tenancy, timing, power, and the SKU framework.
Technical detailThe standard
Open. All the way down.
ORB is a published standard, not a locked box. Open airwaves, open hardware, open software. Anyone can build for it, and nothing about your site depends on one vendor.
Three documents.
Version 0.9 drafts, available for partner and engineering review on request.
ORB-A1
The Antenna
One antenna covers every band. Fully documented as a second-sourceable passive design, buildable by any qualified manufacturer.
Technical detailORB-C1
The Oasis
The industrial CPE for machines, trailers, and crews: the dual role, the coverage stack, the safety mesh profile, mounting annexes, and how it all fits together.
Technical detailFour principles, and they are binding.
These are not positioning statements. In the specification they are normative, which means a unit that breaks one does not conform.
Principle one
Open spectrum only
Every operating band is available to anyone under the rules, with no licenses and no carrier agreements. Licensed spectrum is an optional hardening, never a requirement.
Principle two
Open interfaces at every layer
The baseband is a swappable module with a published interface, radios sit in standard slots, the antenna is separately specified, and the software plane is built on open source foundations.
Principle three
Coordinated transmission, on the record
Every band governed by a database regime is authorized through one client architecture, and every grant is recorded per device, per location, per time.
Principle four
Graceful degradation
Losing any single band, path, or subsystem reduces capacity. It never severs connectivity, and it never takes down the control tier.
Claims you can check yourself.
A conformance test suite ships with the specification. Any party can verify a claim without asking us to confirm it.
- Band plan behavior across every operating band.
- Coordination client correctness against reference databases.
- Record integrity in the coordination ledger.
- Steering and failover behavior across backhaul paths.
- Isolation between tenant slices.
- Commissioning by non-specialist personnel.
Build on it.
The published interfaces are the target for machine, camera, and sensor integrations. If you make equipment for jobsites, mining, energy, or linear infrastructure, the platform is open to you on the same terms as anyone else.
