Nexus: Adaptive Portable Base Station

Nexus is a modular base station designed to unify communications, computing, and power management into one adaptable platform. Built for both fixed and portable operation, it transitions seamlessly from desktop to field use—no reconfiguration, no external dependencies.

At its core, Nexus consolidates every function an operator needs to manage power, radios, and data within a single enclosure. The PMCS (Power Management Control System) provides real-time control and visualization of internal power routing, cooling, and subsystem status. Through the connected tablet interface, the operator gains a complete picture of system health and communication readiness in seconds.

A Platform for Integration

Every element of Nexus is engineered around interoperability. It supports a wide range of HF, VHF/UHF, LoRa, and Wi-Fi systems, automatically routing power and data where needed. The modular design allows additional communication modules and computing cores to be added as technology evolves, extending the life of the system and its capability in the field. The dockable ruggedized tablet replaces traditional fixed displays, acting as both the control surface and mission terminal. It can be detached for remote operation, enabling the user to move freely while maintaining full access to power control, data, and network management.

Powered by Vector

Nexus integrates the Vector AI assistant to manage and optimize communication tasks in real time. Vector oversees system conditions, predicts optimal operating parameters, and can automate routine adjustments to maintain link stability and efficiency. Together, they form a unified command environment—hardware, software, and intelligence working in sync.

Designed for Continuous Operation

Nexus draws from multiple input sources, including external AC, internal battery power, and solar panel input with automated switching and battery charging to maintain uptime. Its internal architecture prioritizes reliability and efficiency, allowing it to operate indefinitely when supplied by renewable or auxiliary power. Each subsystem is independently managed, allowing critical functions to remain active even during maintenance or component changes. This layered design ensures resilience without complexity.

In Development

Nexus is currently in final integration testing as part of the Field Radio Systems ecosystem. The next phase will demonstrate synchronized control between Nexus, Vector, and future modules such as Radiant. Nexus represents the next step in practical, intelligent communication systems—an adaptable platform that brings integration and control to every environment.
