Your fence isn't your perimeter.

What can reach your site — from orbit, from the road, from the car park?

Scroll to fall from orbit to the fence — past the satellites your clocks trust, past a van with a long-range antenna, to the radio footprint around one OT site.

Still frame of this chapter of the illustrative Omnisight scroll story (synthetic data).
01 · FROM ORBIT

Signals reach your site from every direction.

GPS satellites about 20,200 km up give every relay and clock its time. Low-orbit broadband about 550 km up can put an internet link anywhere — including inside your fence.

02 · MILES OUT

A directional antenna doesn’t need to be close.

A van in a lay-by with a high-gain dish on a roof mast can hold a two-way Wi-Fi link for kilometres, line of sight — to a device on site, and back again. The fence stops people. It does not stop radio.

03 · THE PERIMETER

Your fence isn’t your perimeter.

Inside the fence: what the asset register knows. Around it: a radio footprint about three times the fenced area — the road, the car park, the houses. Unexplained is not the same as hostile.

A RADIO NOBODY KNEW ABOUT
HOW IT WORKSAn HVAC controller ships with Wi-Fi switched on. Nobody listed it as a radio. From a lay-by about 300 m away, a directional antenna joins it — and the controller sits on the same flat LAN as the RTU.

05 · TIME

Every timestamp trusts one antenna.

Satellites, a roof antenna, a station clock, then PTP over the station bus to every relay. Lose the fix and the clock drifts in holdover; spoof it and it can be confidently wrong. Omnisight’s own receiver watches the same sky — off the OT network.

06 · FROM SIGNAL TO EVIDENCE

Omnisight listens. It never touches the OT network.

A passive sensor captures what is in the air, checks the devices it hears against your known-devices register and raises alerts. Nexus brings every sensor into one view.

REAL ALERT TYPES IN SOURCE INCLUDE AP SPOOFING · DEAUTHENTICATION FLOOD · CRYPTO DROPPED · CLIENT MISSING MFP

07 · FIVE VIEWS

One site. Five views.

The sky, the approach, the site, the air around it and the time it keeps. Your drawings show the middle one. Omnisight adds the rest.
