Cilium Networks | Smart Water & Building IoT Solutions

Cilium Networks builds its offering around a foundational Integrated Communications Network that consolidates voice, video, data and smart device traffic into a single infrastructure layer within a building. The company follows a four stage delivery process for network deployments: assessing a property’s existing infrastructure and requirements, designing a bespoke network architecture, building the physical and digital infrastructure, and optimising the system for ongoing performance.

On top of this network layer, Cilium Networks layers IoT sensor based services covering water metering, water leak detection, air quality monitoring, energy monitoring, people counting and CCTV. These services rely on connected sensors and gateways that feed data into a cloud platform for monitoring, reporting and alerting, allowing building managers to view consumption and condition data in real time rather than through periodic manual checks.

The company’s publicly listed technology stack includes wireless networking equipment from vendors such as Ruckus and Mikrotik, IoT sensor hardware from Milesight, cloud infrastructure from AWS and OVHcloud, and network and security equipment from vendors including Honeywell, Itron, Axis Communications, Juniper Networks and Palo Alto Networks, alongside containerisation tooling such as Docker. This combination of enterprise networking equipment and cloud hosted software reflects the founders’ prior background in cloud and network engineering roles. Cilium Networks also offers standalone network and AI infrastructure consulting, including architecture design, automation and security assessments, delivered through flexible or ongoing consulting arrangements for organisations where network infrastructure is business critical.
