Critical Infrastructure receives U.S. patent

Mr. Brenton Scott reports CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGIES UNITED STATES PATENT APPLICATION GRANTED Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd.'s U.S. patent application titled "A Mobile Radio Station" has been formally granted. The patent, U.S. patent No. U.S. 12,555,886, has been granted. The application (No. 18/558043) is registered in the name of Critical Infrastructure Technologies Pty. Ltd. and relates to the core technology underpinning the company's Nexus platform architecture. Strengthening global intellectual property position The U.S. patent grant represents a significant milestone in Critical Infrastructure's global intellectual property strategy, and secures protection in one of the world's largest defence, telecommunications and homeland security markets. The patented invention covers Critical Infrastructure's deployable, autonomous mobile radio station system -- an integrated, containerized communications platform designed for rapid establishment of secure connectivity in remote, disaster-affected and high-threat environments. The system integrates: A transportable ISO container-based communications hub; A hydraulically deployed, rigid scissor-lift mast; Hybrid energy systems incorporating battery storage and renewable inputs; Automated deployment functionality; Climate-controlled, mission-ready communications architecture. Strategic importance in the U.S. market The United States represents a key strategic market for Critical Infrastructure across defence, emergency response, border security, energy, mining and aerospace sectors. Grant of the U.S. patent strengthens Critical Infrastructure's ability to: Protect its rigid mast and autonomous deployment technology; Engage with U.S. defence and federal agencies; Expand licensing and partnership opportunities; Secure long-term commercial advantage in mission-critical communications. The patent further enhances Critical Infrastructure's competitive positioning as it continues expanding its international footprint across North America, Europe and allied markets. Patent overview Critical Infrastructure's invention defines a deployable, autonomous mobile radio station designed for rapid establishment of secure communications in remote or high-threat environments. The system overcomes the limitations of conventional mobile long-term evolution and radio infrastructure by integrating transportability, energy autonomy and intelligent automation. The patented design substantially expands Critical Infrastructure's total addressable market, extending beyond traditional telecommunications infrastructure into defence, disaster response, remote industrial operations, mining, and emerging aerospace and satellite applications. Global patent coverage Critical Infrastructure filed patent applications for "A Mobile Radio Station" in: Australia, Canada, China, Europe, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam and the United States. Along with the United States, South Africa has granted a patent, and all other jurisdictions have either filed, or are under or awaiting examination. This extensive global intellectual property coverage ensures broad protection of Critical Infrastructure's Nexus 20 technology across major defence and communications markets. Competitive defence advantage Critical Infrastructure's Nexus 20 platform delivers a fully self-contained, air-liftable communications hub capable of autonomous field operation, ideal for rapid network establishment in defence operations, disaster recovery and remote mission support. A key differentiator of Critical Infrastructure's design is its superrigid, precision-engineered mast, which maintains complete stability even under extreme wind conditions. Unlike competitor systems that suffer vibration and movement during operation, Critical Infrastructure's mast design ensures consistent, uninterrupted signal delivery -- a critical requirement for mission-critical defence and communications environments. Its energy independence, automation and structural integrity significantly reduce personnel exposure and logistics, enhancing reliability and operational readiness in demanding field conditions. The system's modular and artificial-intelligence-enabled architecture also positions Critical Infrastructure for next-generation applications, including: Rapid-deploy satellite ground stations and mobile telemetry for aerospace and UAS test ranges; Counter-UAS and electronic perimeter defence, areas of growing focus in North Atlantic Treaty Organization and European defence programs; Critical infrastructure protection and smart city security, enabling mobile monitoring for ports, airports and large-scale civic events. Chief executive officer comment Brenton Scott, chief executive officer of Critical Infrastructure, commented: "Securing our United States patent grant is a major milestone for CiTech. The U.S. market is central to global defence and advanced communications innovation, and this patent strengthens our ability to commercialize the Nexus platform internationally. Protecting our intellectual property in the United States reinforces our long-term strategy of building sovereign, autonomous communications capability for allied nations." About Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. Listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange with operations in Perth, Western Australia, Critical Infrastructure is creating autonomous, high-capacity, rapidly deployable technology that delivers essential services to where they are needed most. Critical Infrastructure is targeting the mining, defence, border security/surveillance and emergency service sectors in relation to its first product release, the Nexus 16, which aims to provide critical mobile telecommunications for such sectors. Using patented technologies, Critical Infrastructure's self-deploying platform provides a solution for two of the greatest limitations of current rapidly deployable communication solutions, strength of the tower and ability to rapidly self-deploy and operate, in numerous situations. The SDP is designed to support radio equipment including LTE (long-term evolution) and several other technological payloads, such as surveillance and anti-drone systems. Critical Infrastructure has completed the research and development phase, and is currently commercializing the first of many products that will be released. We seek Safe Harbor.
