IoT Meets Dependable Network Management

Blazing A New Trail

The NEXUS NANO packs an impressive tool set into a tiny package.

It extends communication access to remote facilities via mobile links. It streamlines network element management while improving network surveillance.

It provides alarms back-haul and speeds up remote application deployment. It acts as a powerful IoT node — collecting all your remote sensor telemetry.

Yet best of all, it provides all this flexibility while only sipping power.

This is a great example of Optima's Integrated Networking concept. And it's greener networking all wrapped up in one.

NEXUS NANO.
Small in size.
Big in features.

Integrated. Economic.

High End Features Without The Price.

As incredible as the big irons usually are, they are not always the best tool for the job.
 
At Optima, we found a better way.
 
We made NEXUS a scalable system. From compact to large, Optima has a model to fit every application. To hit all your targets. Perfectly optimized.
 
First out of the gate, the NEXUS NANO delivers the perfect balance of power and performance. It does the job well. And saves your bottom line.
Flexible Design

Industrial
Strength

NEXUS NANO is your ideal solution for critical infrastructure management. It comes with an impressive pedigree. Optima has over two decades of experience building carrier grade systems and tools. Simply deploy and reap the rewards.

Let it be your catalyst for driving efficiencies in operation. Make NEXUS NANO a key part of your OPEX reduction strategy today.

Pumping More Data

For Tough Applications

NEXUS NANO has been designed to be tough. It works in remote sites, out on the factory floor, crammed into tight cabinets, or mounted in racks.

It is industrial strength, ready for harsh applications. It's small form factor makes it ideal for space constrained applications.

The ultra-low-power modes and fan-less design let it run cooler and longer. Even when operating on battery backup power.

Optional DIN-rail mounting options make it ideal for industrial control applications too.

Connect to all your site equipment with a wide variety of wireless and wired connections. NEXUS NANO supports:

  • Cellular
  • Ethernet
  • MODBUS
  • Control Loops
  • Contact Inputs
  • Analog Inputs
  • Relay Outputs
  • Sensor Inputs
  • WIFI¹
  • Bluetooth¹
  • USB
  • And Legacy Serial Links.

Collect, compute, compare, connect. Then transfer all your valuable data points. NEXUS NANO is the perfect IoT node for industry and telecom.

NEXUS NANO

Ready To Grow With Your Network

Built To Communicate

Power To Manage

It has been predicted that the Internet will continue to grow by tens of billions of sensors and devices.

Yet there are concerns that managing all these devices will remain a challenge.

That is why you should use the NEXUS NANO. Effectively and securely connect all your remote sensors and outlying sites to your core network.

It features intelligent management tools to handle everything from legacy devices to the latest IoT technologies.

It features a built-in secure gateway, and handles Ethernet, MODBUS, cellular WAN connections, even optional WIFI or Bluetooth with ease.

Optima designed the entire NEXUS range as a flexible platform to push intelligent applications right to the network's edge.

NEXUS NANO has the processing power to aggregate, compute, convert and analyze data from many sources, protocols and 3rd party devices.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

NEXUS NANO

Use It As Your ecoSENTRY Appliance

Optima’s ecoSENTRY application monitors:

  • Diesel/LPG Fuel Levels,
  • GENSET Operation,
  • Fuel Consumption,
  • Fuel Fills & Losses,
  • as well as 24/7 Tank Access.

The app also tracks AC and DC power systems, and a host of environmental sensors. It immediately relays any abnormal and out of bounds conditions. ecoSENTRY makes hidden processes in remote sites visible.

Pre-load a special version onto the NEXUS NANO to track and correlate fuel depot draws. Comparing it with tanker truck deliveries made to all your far flung sites.

This allows you to keep a sharp eye on your fuel inventory — and its timely and accurate distribution.

Pre-load the NEXUS NANO as an ecoSENTRY appliance. And it becomes our most efficient, innovative ready-to-go out of the box solution ever. We would love to demo the NEXUS NANO ecoSENTRY appliance to you.
