Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. (CSE: CTTT) (OTC: CITLF) (FRA: X9V) announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted its patent application for “A Mobile Radio Station,” US Patent No. 12,555,886. The patent covers the core technology behind the company’s Nexus platform, a deployable, autonomous communications system designed for rapid deployment in remote, disaster-affected, and high-threat environments.
The patent strengthens CiTech’s global intellectual property strategy, particularly in the United States, which the company identifies as a key market for defense, emergency response, border security, energy, mining, and aerospace sectors. The granted patent protects CiTech’s rigid mast and autonomous deployment technology, enabling the company to engage with U.S. defense and federal agencies and expand licensing and partnership opportunities.
The patented invention integrates several components into a compact, container-based system: a transportable ISO container communications hub, a hydraulically deployed rigid scissor-lift mast, hybrid energy systems with battery storage and renewable inputs, automated deployment functionality, and climate-controlled mission-ready architecture. This design aims to overcome limitations of conventional mobile LTE and radio infrastructure by combining transportability, energy autonomy, and intelligent automation.
CiTech has filed patent applications for the mobile radio station in multiple jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, South Korea, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, and the United States. South Africa has also granted a patent, while other applications are under examination. This comprehensive coverage protects the Nexus 20 technology across major defense and communications markets.
The Nexus 20 platform is a fully self-contained, air-liftable communications hub capable of autonomous field operation. A key differentiator is its super-rigid, precision-engineered mast, which maintains stability under extreme wind conditions, ensuring consistent signal delivery for mission-critical applications. The system’s energy independence, automation, and structural integrity reduce personnel exposure and logistics demands.
CiTech’s modular and AI-enabled architecture positions the platform for next-generation applications, including rapid-deploy satellite ground stations, mobile telemetry for aerospace and UAS test ranges, counter-UAS and electronic perimeter defense, and critical infrastructure protection for ports, airports, and large-scale events.
Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, commented: “Securing our United States patent grant is a major milestone for CiTech. The U.S. market is central to global defence and advanced communications innovation, and this patent strengthens our ability to commercialise the Nexus platform internationally. Protecting our intellectual property in the United States reinforces our long-term strategy of building sovereign, autonomous communications capability for allied nations.”
CiTech is listed on the CSE and operates from Perth, Western Australia. The company targets the mining, defence, border security, and emergency services sectors with its first product, the Nexus 16, designed to provide critical mobile telecommunications. The self-deploying platform addresses limitations in tower strength and rapid deployment. For more information, visit www.citech.com.au.
