Power & Telco Infrastructure Background

Power & Telco Infrastructure

Powering the Future – AI, Cybersecurity & Immersive Infrastructure

Critical Infrastructure for National Resilience

APD Space delivers power and telecommunications systems that underpin national critical infrastructure. From AI-centric data centres to secure GIS substations, our designs ensure facilities operate with safety, reliability and resilience.

Data centres are constrained by power and security, not space. APD provides HV systems, fibre integration and OT cybersecurity to safeguard against disruption and sovereign risk. Our comprehensive approach integrates cyber-resilience into power & telecom systems.

Through immersive VR/AR substations, we enable safer design reviews, reduce rework and enhance operator training — creating living digital twins that support assets across their lifecycle.

From radio observatories to secure GIS substations, APD delivers infrastructure enabling both science & national resilience.
