What teams build with OpenSky Network

OpenSky Network on its own answers half the question. Joined with the rest of your stack in Kimo, it answers the other half.

Geolocated activity

Plot items and entities on the map with precision radii and time sliders.

Heatmap by AOI
02

Entity correlation

Link people, vessels, organisations and places across feeds automatically.

Co-occurrence graph
03

Narrative velocity alerts

Detect when a topic or entity accelerates beyond its baseline in a region.

Objects & tables

Exactly what gets synced

Kimo maps OpenSky Network into clean, typed tables with primary keys and incremental cursors, so syncs stay fast and joins just work.

Setup

Connect OpenSky Network in 10 min

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Kimo asks for the minimum access it needs and tells you exactly what it will read.

  1. 1

    Create a service identity

    Issue a token or account scoped to the indexes, topics or feeds Kimo should read.

  2. 2

    Open network access

    Allow Kimo’s static egress IPs, use an SSH tunnel, or run the on-prem agent inside your network.

  3. 3

    Enter connection details

    Credentials are encrypted at rest with a per-workspace key and tested before saving.

  4. 4

    Select tables

    Choose what to sync, starting with items. Kimo backfills, then keeps it fresh.

Read-only, encrypted, revocable. Credentials are encrypted with a per-workspace key, never logged, and can be rotated without breaking your models.
