If you've been running Antelope for a while, you know BRTT as the company behind the software that keeps seismic networks running around the clock. We've been doing this since 1994, and that part isn't changing. What is changing is how we operate as a company and what we can offer you.
Under new management in 2025, we've spent the past year building out the team, modernizing our operations, and developing something we've been working toward for a long time: a cloud platform for Antelope. We're calling this chapter BRTT 3.0.
A Bigger Team
To do this right, we brought on people with the skills to match the ambition:
- Jennifer Eakins, Head of Customer Success, is running our support and account management and has already made a noticeable difference in response times.
- Colby Toland, Principal Software Engineer, has become our go-to across the Antelope codebase, shipping new features including Q8 datalogger support and the Condor structural monitoring system.
- Rohan Ambli, Principal Cloud Architect, is designing and building the infrastructure behind Antelope Cloud from the ground up.
- Joe Scharf, Product and Business Operations, is driving our cloud platform strategy and modernizing how we run the business side of things.
Introducing the Antelope Cloud Platform
The Antelope Cloud platform is built around a straightforward idea: your team should spend its time on seismology, not on managing servers.
Right now, running a seismic network means maintaining your own hardware, handling software updates, managing backups, and keeping everything patched and secure. That's a lot of IT work that has nothing to do with monitoring earthquakes. Antelope Cloud moves that burden off your plate. We handle the infrastructure -- the servers, the storage, the updates, the security -- and you get a platform that's always current and always available.
The cost picture changes too. Instead of purchasing and maintaining your own server hardware and hiring IT staff to keep it running, you get a managed service. Processing scales up automatically when you need it, like during a significant seismic sequence, and scales back down when you don't.
You can access your data and control your network from a web browser or mobile device, from anywhere with an internet connection. No VPNs, no remote desktop sessions.
What's on the Platform
We've built Antelope Cloud around five core modules:
Core Monitoring Dashboard -- A single view of your entire network: station health, data latency, recent events, system status. You can customize what you see so the information that matters most to your operations is front and center.
DLMON (Datalogger Monitoring) -- Real-time status of every datalogger in your network. Field technicians can pull it up on a phone to check power levels, GPS lock, and data flow before or during a site visit. The system sends alerts when something goes wrong, so you know about problems before they cause data gaps.
Condor (Structural Health Monitoring) -- Purpose-built for critical infrastructure like dams, bridges, and nuclear facilities. Condor watches acceleration data continuously and triggers alerts when ground motion or structural response crosses your thresholds. When seconds matter for safety protocols, that kind of automatic response is essential.
Bighorn (Waveform Analysis) -- Spectral analysis, waveform visualization, and historical replay in the browser. Analysts can apply filters, switch between time and frequency domain views, and compare current activity against past recordings. Useful for both real-time assessment and post-event research.
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) -- Rapid event identification and categorization, integrated with your existing alert systems. Detections flow directly into established notification channels so there's no gap between detection and response.
You Don't Have to Rip and Replace
We know that many of you have years of investment in on-premises Antelope deployments, and they work well. Antelope Cloud doesn't require you to abandon that.
The platform is designed for hybrid operation. You can keep your local real-time systems running and use the cloud for things like long-term data archival, heavy processing, or advanced analytics. Our migration tools let you move at your own pace, and our support team will work with you through the process. The goal is a unified environment that combines what you already have with what the cloud makes possible.
Roadmap
Here's where things stand and where they're going:
Now (Q4 2025): The MVP platform is operational with DLMON, Condor, and Bighorn modules live. We're running alpha tests with select partners and using their feedback to shape the product.
Q1-Q2 2026: Open beta. We'll add cloud-based earthquake analysis tools and tighter integration between on-premises and cloud systems.
Q3-Q4 2026: General availability. The full platform launches with additional detection and analysis capabilities, a complete alerting and notification system, and Condor and EEW fully integrated into the cloud.
2027 and beyond: AI and machine learning capabilities, including automatic event detection, automated phase picking and location refinement, and anomaly detection for equipment health. Plus expanded APIs, mobile improvements, and advanced analytics.
Get in Touch
We're early in this process and we want to hear from you -- whether you're curious about the cloud platform, want to join the beta, or just want to talk about what BRTT 3.0 means for your network. Reach out to us at info@brtt.com.
This is a big step for us, and we're building it with our users in mind. More to come.
