01 // FRONTIERGATE™ · INSIDE PORTADC
Our proprietary hardware boundary governor enforces strict electrical isolation between the host generation asset and the compute vault. FrontierGate™ guarantees zero overload trips on the host network while protecting the tenant's firm compute floor in sub-millisecond response windows. Detailed protection curves and single-line diagrams are provided to host utilities and tenants under NDA.

01 · Ahead of every overload curve
What it does
Every lease carries an always-on cushion held at the boundary. When the host's own load ramps, FrontierGate™ holds the host's power boundary while the tenant's firm floor never moves.
How we leverage it
The pod answers the host's load changes before any protective device needs to, GPUs untouched, so the host keeps its headroom and the tenant keeps its floor.
02 · Designed for zero overload trips
What it does
FrontierGate™ is designed to hold pod demand inside the site-approved envelope using the cushion first. Pulse tenants have a flexible band of zero and are never trimmed. Surge tenants carry a contracted 25 to 40% band and answer a power-budget signal with their own orchestration. Fault protection stays independent.
How we leverage it
Hosts, their network provider and their insurers see a tenant that never competes with core operations for the connection, with electricity in at the boundary meter signed into the LARUS record, and a clear line between demand management and fault protection.
03 · One cushion, two systems
What it does
Solar-Sponge™ plans the pod's flexible band around the solar day and the host's needs. FrontierGate™ executes that plan at the host boundary when the call comes, and LARUS AI™ records electricity in and heat out as it happens.
How we leverage it
The host gets a tenant whose flexibility is real and measured. The tenant gets a floor that is written into the lease and never shares the host's problem.
04 · 120-day target, not a substation
What it does
Staying within an existing switchboard's permitted envelope means a PortaDC pod can be assessed and deployed on solar-and-battery farms and industrial premises without waiting years for a new substation, subject to the site's connection assessment where required.
How we leverage it
We target powered racks 120 days from order: bringing the pod to power that is already permitted, rather than queueing for power that isn't.
