OT networks, SCADA backhaul, edge security, and AI agents that keep eyes on all of it around the clock. A decade in the Piceance and Uinta basins. We build the infrastructure. You run the operation.
Poll/response, deadbanded analog, DNP3 & Modbus traffic across radios, microwave, fiber, and LEO. Your control room never knows which path it took. That's the point.
Greenfield and brownfield OT segmentation. Purdue model, IDMZ, jump-host hardening, zone/conduit modelling. Survives the auditor and the backhoe.
Path survey, link budget, frequency coordination, tower loading, NEPA siting, FreedomFi/CBRS, 900 MHz licensed and unlicensed PtMP/PtP. We climb, splice, and document.
LEO as primary, secondary, or burst path. Bonded uplinks, policy-based routing, CGNAT mitigation, engineered failover. SCADA doesn't care which sky it's pointed at.
Site-templated edge security, IPS tuning, OT-aware allow-listing, VLAN segmentation, posture-checked client VPN. The dashboards your SOC actually opens.
Day-1 OT/IT integration for acquired pads & gathering systems. Inventory the unknown, draw the as-found vs as-deeded map, execute the cut-over inside your ops window.
This is what it looks like when we instrument a basin. Fake data, real architecture. DNP3 polling, leak-watch agents, the whole stack. Poke around. Chase a packet from a wellhead to the control room.
No pitch decks. No "AI strategy workshops." We ship agents that actually run: supervisors, workers, evaluators. They use tools, keep ledgers, every action is replayable. Patent pending. Built for places where being wrong means a phone call you don't want to get.

We move bits from wellheads to control rooms. Microwave hops, SD-WAN edges, SCADA historians. Turn them into actions a human (or an agent) can actually take. That's the whole job.
Started with Colorado's first wireless ISP. Spent the last decade-plus in the Piceance and Uinta basins building the OT plumbing that nobody writes press releases about but everybody's production depends on.
The R&D arm, Cowden Technologies, builds proprietary drone-deployed inspection systems. NVIDIA Inception partner. U.S. patent holder.

Where the field problems go to get solved. Cowden is the R&D arm: autonomous inspection, agentic AI, pre-production hardware. Tested in the basins before it gets a datasheet.
NVIDIA Inception partner. U.S. patent holder. Drone-deployed infrastructure inspection.
Patented method for autonomous, repeatable inspection of energy infrastructure using uncrewed aerial vehicles with sensor-fusion assisted defect detection. Built in the basins, running in production. Patent details available on inquiry.

First conversation is free, NDA on arrival. Usually starts with a path survey or a SCADA inventory. We're on mountain time.
