CiTech Announces Major Advancement in Mobile Communications with NX-20 and NX-24 Models

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has announced a significant advancement in payload elevation and network reliability with the release of its NX-20 and NX-24 models, designed to support critical operations across defense, border security/surveillance, and mining sectors. Building on stakeholder collaboration in Australia and Europe, the company's engineering team has extended the operational height of its Nexus Rapid Deployment Base Station to over 20 meters, with the NX-20 capable of lifting up to 100kg of payload equipment to 20m and an optional extension allowing antennas to reach 24m.

The increased height significantly expands the system's transmission range, enabling the NX-20 to transmit to network nodes up to 18.4km away on flat terrain while reducing the impact of tree cover and built environments on network effectiveness. These improvements create new opportunities for mobile, flexible, and resilient communications in challenging environments. According to CEO Brenton Scott, "Height is the most important factor in network reliability and flexibility. With the NX-20 and NX-24, CiTech continues to push the boundaries of operational capability, providing our partners with next-generation solutions for mission-critical communications."

Key engineering milestones include further development of CiTech's patented deployment mechanism to increase load capacity while maintaining core mechanical principles. The addition of a second trapezoidal screw drive enhances deployment stability, with collateral benefits also improving the weight capacity of the NX-16 model. The company has also integrated support for VTOL fixed-wing surveillance drones, extending effective ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) coverage for defense and security applications. Scott added, "Our focus is on delivering robust, versatile systems that adapt to the evolving needs of our customers. The NX-20 and NX-24 demonstrate CiTech's commitment to innovation in critical infrastructure and communications."

The advancement represents a crucial development for sectors requiring reliable communications in remote or challenging environments, particularly for defense operations where secure, long-range communication is essential. The integration with surveillance drone technology further enhances the system's utility for border security and intelligence gathering applications.
