Edge AI for distributed acoustic sensing.

Signal processing, on-device inference, distributed nodes and communications — turning sound into operational awareness.

01

How Tersonic works

Five stages, from sound to decision.

  1. Acoustic sensor node
    01

    Sense

    Passive acoustic nodes continuously capture the surrounding sound environment.

  2. Signal processing
    02

    Process

    Domain-specific signal processing extracts useful acoustic features.

  3. Edge AI processing unit
    03

    Classify

    On-device AI classifies relevant sound events close to the source.

  4. Mesh communications between sensor nodes
    04

    Connect

    Relevant events and system health are relayed through resilient communications.

  5. Watchtower operator platform
    05

    Operate

    Detections become located alerts and operational context for operators.

02

System architecture

Three layers, one system.

Acoustic sensor node

Layer 01

Sensor Nodes

  • Acoustic capture
  • On-device DSP
  • Edge AI inference
Gateway relay node

Layer 02

Resilient Communications

  • Event relay
  • Event aggregation
  • Resilient transport
Watchtower operator platform

Layer 03

Watchtower

  • Situational awareness
  • Alarm management
  • Node & fleet status

Detection and classification happen on the nodes; connectivity carries events, not raw audio.

03

Built for deployment

  • Node health

    Reliability in the field

    Designed for continuous operation in real deployment environments.

  • Alarm management

    False-alert reduction

    Classification and event logic are designed to reduce unnecessary operator alerts.

  • Acoustic event propagation

    Real-time response

    Edge processing keeps detection and classification close to the sensing point.

  • Scalable deployment

    Scalable deployments

    Architecture designed to evolve from individual nodes toward distributed networks.
