About US

Subterranean was founded by Anthony Hutton and Aidan Gallagher after more than two decades working together on complex engineering and software systems for security camera and IoT manufacturers and system integrators.

Across this work, they repeatedly encountered the same problem: systems that perform well in controlled conditions fail when deployed in the environments where they are most needed.

Subterranean was established to address this gap - building systems that operate reliably where communications, positioning and visibility are constrained.
