Living Nodes
The single catalogue of iViRTH physical infrastructure. Every entry states its status and what is actually installed.
Catalogue
One pilot-deployed node, and concepts clearly marked as concepts.
Smart Solar Bench V1.0 Base
Solar-powered public seating platform with digital amenities. Pilot deployed at FOAP, AKTU, TRL 8.

EV charging kiosk
A street-side charging point with a digital display. Proposed direction only; no working unit is implied.
Solar café umbrella
A shade structure with a flexible solar panel, LED strips and USB charging. Proposed direction only.
Concept gallery
Renders and diagrams of the wider Living Nodes family. Each is a concept unless stated otherwise.
Status labels
Used on every product.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pilot deployed | Installed at a pilot site. The exact variant and what is operating are stated. |
| Prototype | A working prototype exists; not a production deployment. |
| In development | Active engineering; not a proven product. |
| Concept | Proposed direction only. |
| Available for deployment | Delivery, supply and support are confirmed. |
What makes it a Living Node
Physical infrastructure that is also a data source.
Observable
Designed to report its state, where instrumented.
Identifiable
Has a persistent identity as a Helix Asset Twin.
Connected
Connectivity and power options chosen per site.
Measurable
Metrics defined in ViSE with source and method.
Node families under consideration
Directions in the Living Nodes range. Apart from the Smart Solar Bench, none is a deployed product.
| Family | Intended setting | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Solar Bench | Campuses, parks, transit hubs, public spaces | Pilot deployed V1.0 Base Planned V2.0 Edge AI |
| Urban Node | City streets and public squares | Concept |
| Grameen Node | Rural and off-grid settings | Concept |
| Campus Node | Campuses and institutions | Concept |
| Transit Node | Bus stops and transit hubs | Concept |
| Tourism Node | Destinations and heritage trails | Concept |
| Environmental Node | Air, noise and weather sensing | Concept |
| Custom Node | Bespoke configurations for a site | Concept |
Every catalogue entry uses the same record
So that products can be compared fairly and nothing is overstated.
Living Nodes questions
What is a Living Node?
A piece of physical infrastructure that is also a data source: it has an identity in Helix, can be measured through ViSE and is presented through MTRX where implemented.
Which nodes are real today?
Only the Smart Solar Bench V1.0 Base is pilot deployed. Everything else is a concept.
Can I order one?
Start with a pilot request. Availability, delivery and support are confirmed in the proposal.
