Physical AI, off-grid, in minutes.

IBEX is an autonomous sensing platform for unpowered, unconnected sites. Solar-powered, satellite-connected, multi-spectral — running vision AI locally and sending only byte-sized metadata. Zero civil works.

The problem

Where the grid ends, monitoring stops.

Early-stage construction sites, oil & gas assets, maritime vessels, and remote logistics lack power and connectivity — making safety monitoring and environmental surveillance cost-prohibitive. Trenching cable and streaming video over cellular or satellite adds extreme friction and cost ($20–$100 per hectare per year).

What's new

Key innovations & differentiators

01

Zero-work deployment

Solar-powered and wireless. Installs in minutes on early-stage construction sites, remote O&G wells, or vessels — zero civil works, trenching, or cabling.

02

Multi-spectral vision

RGB, Near-Infrared, and LWIR Thermal optics on one node. Automated PPE compliance, 24/7 intrusion detection in total darkness, and hazard tracking — methane leaks, wildfires.

03

Multi-orbit satellite + LoRa hub

Deutsche Telekom multi-orbit IoT roaming (GEO/LEO satellite and 3GPP Rel-17 cellular) plus Terrestar, with the node acting as gateway for 3rd-party LoRa sensors.

04

Disruptive off-grid economics

160 km² per 3-sensor node at under $2/ha/year — up to 90% lower operational cost than legacy monitoring approaches.

05

BYOM & enterprise MLOps

Bring custom models from Ultralytics or Roboflow via one-click export, backed by myMountAIn SaaS for solar-gated OTA updates and drift analysis.

06

Ruggedized & certified

3GPP Rel-17 NB-NTN satellite compliance, CE, FCC, IP67 outdoor enclosure — ready for maritime, O&G, and construction environments.

Multi-spectral AI: PPE compliance, intrusion, and hazard detection — even in total darkness.

Use cases

One node. Multiple detection missions.

The same solar-powered, satellite-connected IBEX platform can run different vision models depending on your site’s priority.

01

Wildfire detection

Early smoke and flame recognition across vast, unpowered terrain. The under-$2/ha/year economics are benchmarked on this use case.

02

Person detection

Locate people entering restricted zones, lone-worker areas, or construction perimeters — at 100 m (300 ft) range, with high accuracy via dual-sensor validation (visible + thermal). No trenching power or relying on cellular coverage.

03

Vehicle counting

Track entry/exit flows on remote access roads, logistics yards, and marina quays at 100 m (300 ft) range, with high accuracy via dual-sensor validation (visible + thermal). Edge inference on RGB and thermal streams.

04

Vehicle classification

Distinguish cars, trucks, heavy machinery, and vessels by class and direction to feed occupancy and logistics dashboards.

05

PPE compliance

Automated hard-hat, vest, and zone-compliance checks for construction and industrial safety teams.

06

Intrusion detection

24/7 perimeter monitoring in total darkness, triggering alerts only when a confirmed intrusion crosses a virtual line.

01

Works day and night

Visible + thermal sensor fusion delivers reliable detection around the clock, from bright daylight to total darkness.

02

Jamming resilient

On-device AI and satellite backhaul keep the node operating even when local networks, GPS, or RF links are jammed or unavailable.

03

Power-outage independent by design

Solar + battery power means IBEX keeps running when the grid goes down — no generator, no PoE, no dependency on site power.

Pricing tied to the use case

The < $2/ha/year benchmark applies specifically to wildfire detection, where cost is measured against the area monitored. Person detection, vehicle counting/classification, PPE compliance and intrusion detection are priced per node, site or event volume — not per hectare. Ask us for a quote matching your scenario.

Who it's for

For teams working where infrastructure isn't.

Construction contractors, industrial safety officers, and vertical solution integrators across industrial tech, logistics, and infrastructure. IBEX serves teams needing zero-infrastructure safety monitoring — from construction sites to maritime vessels (partnered with CMA CGM), oil & gas wells, and remote logistics hubs.

  • Automated PPE compliance monitoring
  • 24/7 intrusion detection, total darkness
  • Methane leak & wildfire hazard tracking
