The best tools scale with you
Ambitious projects start with lab-scale R&D
Enabled by powerful, customizable tools that allow researchers to explore and innovate while seamlessly supporting full scale deployment.
We draw on decades of experience making the transition from the lab to the field, across a diverse set of instrumentation needs, including radio interferometry, large-scale superconducting arrays, and space-qualified instrumentation.
Hardware capabilities that grow with your needs
Do you need 4,000 microwave signals on a single I/O?
Or lower multiplexing over several I/O lines?
How many types of active feedback do you need?
Would you rather trade bandwidth for latency?
R&D requires the ability to make those decisions, and then make them again, and again, and again, as your capabilities develop.
We build flexible systems that anticipate the future and allow for customization.
High-performance hardware platforms put you in control
Ever wish you could just ssh into your lab equipment and write some new code to meet your needs?
Yeah, us too.
Every piece of hardware we build is paired with an open Linux environment that is fully user-accessible through standard communication protocols, and benefits from multi-level API, and an open-source software stack that is both maintained and user-contributed.
Leadership Team
t0.technology is a proudly Canadian company with a world-class team, based in Montréal and Victoria.
Our team has deployed telescopes from Antarctica to the Atacama, and has over ten years of experience working with international scientific collaborations, space agencies, and industrial aerospace partners.
Dr. Joshua Montgomery
President
Joshua is a co-founder and the head of research and development at t0.technology.
Joshua brings technical and managerial experience, and a deep commitment to every project: before launching t0, he over-wintered in Antarctica to support the South Pole Telescope. Joshua is currently the project manager for LiteBIRD Canada, conducting mission and space technology development under contract for the Canadian Space Agency. He received his PhD in Physics from McGill university for his work designing multiplexed readout for astrophysics instruments.
Prof. Matt Dobbs
