Critical Infrastructure Technologies Advances Nexus Platform Production Following Australian Government Grant
Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has commenced production of its autonomous mobile communications platforms after securing Australian government funding, positioning the technology for demonstrations with major mining companies, defense forces, and emergency services across Australia and Europe.
Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has initiated steel fabrication for the first three Nexus autonomous mobile communications platforms following the company's successful Australian Government Grant application. The production milestone marks significant progress for the Vancouver-based company, which trades on the CSE under the symbol CTTT.
Production is currently underway for Nexus platforms 1, 2, and 3, with two additional platforms scheduled to follow. The company anticipates delivery of Nexus 1 and 2 within 10 weeks, while Nexus 3 is expected by the end of January 2026. Each platform will undergo final fit-out upon receipt, with completion projected within 4-6 weeks.
The completed Nexus platforms will undergo demonstrations and pilot programs with major mining companies in Western Australia, the Australian Defence Force, and emergency services departments. These engagements will showcase the platform's versatility across multiple sectors including mining, defense, emergency services, and critical infrastructure applications.
Future production plans include Nexus 4 and 5, scheduled to commence manufacturing in November 2025. One platform will be shipped directly to Poland for final fit-out before embarking on a European product roadshow in March/April 2026. The international expansion responds to significant interest from defense, government, and industry stakeholders across the European Union.
Brenton Scott, CEO of Critical Infrastructure Technologies, emphasized that this milestone reflects the momentum behind the Nexus program, supported by both the Australian Government and global partners. The company's technology addresses critical limitations in current rapidly deployable communication solutions, particularly regarding tower strength and rapid self-deployment capabilities. The self-deploying platform is designed to support radio equipment including LTE and various technological payloads such as surveillance and anti-drone systems.
The Nexus platform represents CiTech's first product release targeting mining, defense, border security/surveillance, and emergency services sectors. The company has completed its research and development phase and is now commercializing the technology.
