Critical Infrastructure Technologies Advances Nexus Platform Production Following Australian Government Grant

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has initiated steel fabrication for the first three Nexus platforms following the company's successful Australian Government Grant application. Production is currently underway for Nexus 1, 2, and 3, with two additional platforms scheduled to follow in the production pipeline. The commencement of manufacturing represents a crucial phase in the deployment of autonomous, high-capacity mobile communications technology designed for critical infrastructure applications.

Delivery timelines have been established with Nexus 1 and 2 expected to arrive at CiTech's production facility within 10 weeks, while Nexus 3 is scheduled for delivery by the end of January 2026. Upon receipt, each Nexus platform will undergo final fit-out procedures, with completion anticipated within 4-6 weeks. This production schedule demonstrates the company's commitment to meeting deployment targets for its innovative communications solution.

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. The Australian government's support through the grant program underscores the strategic importance of this technology for national security and emergency response capabilities.

Future production plans include Nexus 4 and 5, scheduled to commence manufacturing in November 2025. One of these platforms will be shipped directly to Poland for final fit-out before embarking on a European product roadshow in March/April 2026. This international expansion reflects significant interest from defense, government, and industry stakeholders across the European Union. The company's global outreach strategy positions the Nexus platform as a solution for international markets facing similar communication infrastructure challenges.

Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, emphasized that this milestone reflects the momentum behind the Nexus program, supported by the Australian Government and global partners. The upcoming demonstrations and international engagements will highlight the platform's capability to deliver innovative solutions for defense, border security and surveillance, emergency services, and the mining sector. The Nexus platform addresses two major limitations of current rapidly deployable communication solutions: tower strength and the ability to rapidly self-deploy and operate in various situations.

The company's technology is designed to support radio equipment including LTE and several other technological payloads, such as surveillance and anti-drone systems. With the research and development phase completed, CiTech is now commercializing the first of many products planned for release. The successful grant application and subsequent production initiation demonstrate confidence in the platform's potential to transform mobile telecommunications for critical sectors.
