Charting A Better Course
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.

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.
