Critical Infrastructure Technologies Expands Global Patent Protection for Autonomous Mobile Communications Platform

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has provided an update on its international patent filings for the Mobile Radio Station technology that forms the foundation of the company's expanding presence in global defense and critical infrastructure sectors. The patented invention represents a deployable, autonomous mobile radio station engineered for rapid establishment of secure communications in remote or high-threat environments, overcoming limitations of conventional mobile LTE and radio infrastructure through integrated transportability, energy autonomy, and intelligent automation.

The system's design substantially expands the company's Total Addressable Market beyond traditional telecommunications infrastructure into defense, disaster response, remote industrial operations, mining, and emerging aerospace and satellite applications. Core system features include an integrated mobile platform housed within a standard ISO shipping container containing all communications, power, HVAC, and control systems. The scissor-lift communications tower deploys hydraulically from a stowed position to approximately 16 metres, supporting payloads up to 250 kg and wind-rated to 45 m/s.

PLC-based automation enables full deployment including tower lift, solar array expansion, and stabilizing leg extension in approximately 30 minutes, with remote or local control capabilities. The hybrid power architecture incorporates DC generators, up to 4.8 kW solar input, and 150 kWh of onboard battery capacity for continuous off-grid operation. Redundant climate control through dual 5 kW HVAC systems maintains internal environmental stability in all conditions.

The Nexus 20 platform delivers a fully self-contained, air-liftable communications hub capable of autonomous field operation, ideal for rapid network establishment in defense operations, disaster recovery, and remote mission support. A key differentiator of the design is its super-rigid, precision-engineered mast, which maintains complete stability even under extreme wind conditions. Unlike competitor systems that suffer vibration and movement during operation, the mast design ensures consistent, uninterrupted signal delivery critical for mission-critical defense and communications environments.

Energy independence, automation, and structural integrity significantly reduce personnel exposure and logistics, enhancing reliability and operational readiness in demanding field conditions. The system's modular and AI-enabled architecture positions the company for next-generation applications including rapid-deploy satellite ground stations and mobile telemetry for aerospace and UAS test ranges. Additional applications include counter-UAS and electronic perimeter defense, areas of growing focus in NATO and European defense programs, along with critical infrastructure protection and smart city security enabling mobile monitoring for ports, airports, and large-scale civic events.

Global patent coverage has been filed for the Mobile Radio Station in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, and the United States. The South African patent has been granted, with all other jurisdictions under or awaiting examination. This extensive global intellectual property coverage ensures broad protection of the Nexus 20 technology across major defense and communications markets worldwide. The patent establishes the company as an innovator in autonomous, cyber-resilient, and energy-independent communications infrastructure, combining mechanical innovation, renewable energy systems, and intelligent control to deliver a new class of mobile infrastructure solutions for defense, emergency, and strategic industrial operations globally.
