Early warning for
Himalayan glacial hazards.
Sovereign by construction.
We design and build the full stack — the sensor hardware, the firmware that runs on it, and the Aether platform that reports and routes alerts. Built for the Nepal–India–China hazard space: near-field seismic detection, transboundary alerting in <60 seconds.

// the stack
We build the whole thing.
// hardware
Designed, not assembled
- ▸ STM32WL55JC + LoRa radio on one die
- ▸ ADXL355 MEMS accelerometer (wake-on-interrupt)
- ▸ BGT60TR13C mmWave radar for surface sensing
- ▸ 4-layer PCB, Gerbers ready for fabrication
// firmware
The OS we wrote
- ▸ Tier-0/Tier-1 cascade: wake on seismic, classify in 5s
- ▸ LoRa mesh (900 MHz, 5-15 km spacing)
- ▸ Deep sleep <1 µA, ~18 months battery
- ▸ MQTT over TLS to Aether backend
// platform
Aether, our reporting platform
- ▸ Ingest node telemetry via MQTT
- ▸ Route alerts via Pheme (webhook/SMS/email)
- ▸ Manage the mesh via Meridian
- ▸ Full audit trail: who notified, when, action
// validation
The method, proven on real events.
We validated the detection and geolocation method on two well-documented collapses with open data. The same method is what we deploy in the Himalaya.
| Event | SNR | Error | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bondo 2017 (32km) | 95 | 8.4 km | ✅ DETECTED |
| Blatten 2025 (11km) | 3.3 | 10.0 km | ✅ DETECTED |
// limitations
⚠ 8–10 km geolocation NOT sufficient for valley routing
⚠ Precursor = research only, NOT predictive
⚠ HKH data access gated (working with ICIMOD)
Deploy in the Himalaya.
Ready to deploy valley clusters across Nepal and India. 5 nodes + 1 gateway per valley. Full stack — hardware, firmware, and Aether platform.
