Open Device Deployment and Public Data Sharing

Bring your devices onto an open air quality network.

Vertex helps organizations and device owners add monitors, manage visibility, and share public air quality data through AirQo without vendor lock-in.

A simpler path from device ownership to public impact

Air quality devices are deployed by cities, universities, NGOs, and individual teams, but their data is often fragmented or hidden from broader use. Vertex closes that gap with one platform for onboarding, organization visibility, and network participation.

Open onboarding

Register, organize, and expose devices through one workflow

Vertex gives teams a structured way to add AirQo devices or import external devices into the network while maintaining a clear view of organization assets, sites, and sharing status.

That makes it easier to move from private device ownership to broader public contribution without losing operational control.

What makes Vertex useful

Vertex connects device deployment with public visibility through a single platform.

Guided device onboarding

Register sensors individually or through bulk import workflows.

Deployment organization

Track assets, sites, and device state from one dashboard.

Public data sharing

Publish readings through AirQo for public access.

Open network visibility

Control what is public, hidden, or active across your organization.

Multi-manufacturer support

Visibility and sharing

Manage device visibility in a way that makes public contribution practical

Vertex is designed to make sharing less abstract. It helps organizations understand which devices are visible, which cohorts are public, and how their network appears inside the broader AirQo ecosystem.

This is what makes the platform useful beyond onboarding alone: it links deployment, public visibility, and future data reuse in one place.

Built for organizations that want a more open and visible network

Vertex is useful wherever the challenge is not only collecting readings, but making those readings accessible, reusable, and easier to contribute to public environmental understanding.
