IN-LINE AMPLIFIERS (ILAS)
Ready to Deploy at Software Speed
Why wait 6–9 months to light up a route? Why settle for stranded capacity and diesel tanks?
Synapse Nexus is a physical platform for digital transformation.
Deploy faster. Run cleaner. Operate smarter.
Let’s redefine the edge.
Synapse Nexus: The Future of ILA Infrastructure
ILA sites were never meant to do what networks need today. Originally designed to boost optical signals, legacy huts can’t meet the demands of AI inference, MEC, 5G baseband, or real-time analytics.
But the edge is changing. And so should your infrastructure.
Enter Synapse Nexus, a rugged, compute-ready, modular solution that transforms the ILA from a passive link into an intelligent, autonomous edge node. Deployable in days. Scalable on demand. Engineered to lower your total cost of ownership across its lifecycle.
Why Legacy ILAs Are Failing You
Our manufacturing capabilities are centered around advanced automation, composite material science, and the ability to scale for domestic and international deployment.
-
6 - 9 months for deployments
-
PUEs over 2.5
-
Concrete foundations and crane requirements
-
Zero compute support
-
Diesel and VRLA power stacks
-
High truck roll and maintenance costs
Synapse Nexus Delivers:
-
Fully installed in 3–4 days
-
PUE as low as 1.09
-
Clean hydrogen + molten salt backup power
-
NIJ-rated ballistic protection, no repainting required
-
AI, caching, and MEC-ready (100+ kW per node)
-
Remote-first, zero-truck-roll design
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Advantage
-
Initial Cost: <$1M per site
-
20-Year Lifecycle Savings: $2.55M – $3.04M per site
These savings aren’t theoretical. They’re structural. Built into the shell. The rack system. The power stack. The deployment model. That’s the power of modularity.

Delivered Turnkey
Retrofitting legacy ILA sites may seem cost-effective, but it often leads to ballooning timelines, engineering complexity, and stranded capacity. In most cases, you're better off with a clean-slate approach, rip and replace with a pre-integrated, modular system like Synapse Nexus.
Baseload power can be fully sustainable (e.g., solar, wind, hydrogen), or it can connect to the grid as needed. Backup systems are equally flexible able to operate independently or supplement existing utility feeds.
Synapse Nexus is delivered as a fully managed solution, design, engineering, general contracting, and ongoing operations, all from a single provider. This dramatically reduces handoffs, speeds up timelines, and ensures consistency from start to finish.
