Nexma DataBase
Every Object's Position, Through Time
A purpose-built spatial-temporal database that stores where everything is — and was — at planetary scale. Ask not just where an asset is now, but where it was at any moment in history.
Legacy Challenges
Why Location Databases Forget the Past
Conventional databases were built to answer where things are now. The moment a position updates, the previous one is gone — and storing the full history naively becomes unaffordable at scale.
Position Without Time
Most stores keep only the latest coordinate. When you need to reconstruct where a fleet, sensor, or asset was an hour ago, the data simply isn't there.
Core Capabilities
The Spatial-Temporal Database for Moving Worlds
Nexma DataBase stores the position of every object across time with a compact delta-log core, so history is always available and always fast.
Where, and when, for everything
Every record is indexed in space and time. Query a single asset's full track or the state of an entire region at any instant — past or present.
Ingest
Every Protocol, Into One Time-Aware Store
However a device speaks — HTTP, MQTT, TCP, WebSocket, or a native SDK — its positions and readings stream straight into Nexma DataBase, compressed into the delta-log and queryable across time.
Product Benefits
See the Present and Reconstruct the Past
Keep a complete, queryable history of where everything has been — without the storage bill or the slow queries of a general-purpose database.
Never lose the before-state
Every position is retained, so investigations, audits, and after-action reviews always have ground truth to work from — not a guess.
Store orders of magnitude more for less
Delta-log compression holds vastly more history per dollar than row-per-update storage, so you keep full fidelity instead of downsampling.
Query history as fast as the present
Spatial-temporal indexing keeps time-travel queries interactive, so replay and historical analysis feel as responsive as the live map.
Feature Details
A Database Built for Position and Time
Nexma DataBase pairs a compact temporal core with spatial indexing to track everything that moves, at planetary scale.
Full Position History
Every update to an object's location is retained as a delta, giving you a continuous, replayable track for its entire lifetime.
Point-in-Time Reads
Reconstruct the exact spatial state of any object or region at any past instant, without restoring a separate backup.
Interactive Replay
Scrub a timeline to animate movement and change across the whole dataset at responsive, interactive speed.

FAQ
Get the Facts About Nexma DataBase
Read the DocsIt is a purpose-built spatial-temporal database that stores the position of every object across time. Unlike a conventional store that keeps only the latest coordinate, it retains a continuous, queryable history so you can ask where anything was at any moment.
The DataStore is the versioned filesystem that holds your world model — entities, links, geometry, and constraints. The DataBase is the time-aware backbone optimized for high-frequency position history: where everything has been, at planetary scale, queried fast.
It uses a custom delta-log encoding that records movement as compact deltas — on the order of tens of bytes per update — instead of full duplicated rows. That keeps billions of position updates affordable without downsampling.
Any positional telemetry — fleets, vessels, aircraft, sensors, and live feeds — streamed in through the Event Broker over multiple protocols and written straight into the time-aware store.
Yes. The same engine drives the real-time map and the permanent historical record, so you get live positions and full recall from one system rather than two pipelines kept in sync.
