What we do

One integrator. The whole stack.

We integrate hardware, AI and software into mission-critical systems — and because we build every layer in-house, we own the outcome end to end.

Systems Integration &
Turnkey Solutions

Single-partner accountability from hardware design to operational deployment.

End-to-end

IoT Infrastructure and Sensor Solutions

End-to-end IoT network architecture, integrating off-the-shelf and bespoke sensor technologies to solve your exact operational challenges.

IoT · Sensors

AI & Video Analytics

Edge-processed computer vision for real-time surveillance and defect detection.

Computer vision

Real-Time Location (RTLS)

Sub-meter precision indoor and outdoor positioning for assets and personnel.

RTLS · GPS

Nextan Oware AI™

Our proprietary core engine turning raw sensor streams into actionable intelligence.

Big data · AI

Unified Command & Control

Centralized cloud dashboards and live alerting for total situational awareness.

Why Nextan

One accountable partner — from chip to cloud.

Large integrators assemble third-party parts. We engineer the sensor, the AI and the software ourselves — so you get one accountable partner, lower cost, and a system that actually fits.

01

Single-Source Ownership

No third-party black boxes or vendor friction. We own every layer from chip to cloud.

02

Agile Deep-Tech

In-house R&D lets us customize, iterate, and deploy at a fraction of standard SI timelines.

03

Homegrown & mission-proven

Two decades delivering for national defense, transit, and critical infrastructure.

04

Own IP, not black boxes

Genuine in-house IP — proprietary sensors, the Oware AI™ engine and command software — not rebadged third-party black boxes.

Referenced against large SIs (NCS, ST Engineering, Certis): comparable turnkey delivery — with the agility, cost and ownership of a specialist deep-tech firm.
Landmark projects

Proven at national scale.

Deployed across governments, airports, transit networks and global enterprises — 2003 to today.

System architecture

The Technical Stack

An end-to-end proprietary architecture designed to ingest vast sensor data, process it in real time, and automate critical responses.

Sense

Deployment of diverse IoT arrays, optical sensors and RTLS beacons across complex environments.
