Abstract: In a paper of Braam and Austin, $extSU(2)$ magnetic monopoles in hyperbolic space $H^3$ were shown to be the same as solutions to matrix-valued difference equations called the discrete Nahm equations. Here, I discover the $(N-1)$-interval discrete Nahm equations and show that their solutions are equivalent to $extSU(N)$ hyperbolic monopoles. These discrete time evolution equations on an interval feature a jump in matrix dimensions at certain points in the evolution, which are given by the mass data of the corresponding monopole. I prove the correspondence with higher rank hyperbolic monopoles using localisation and Chern characters. I then prove that the monopole is determined up to gauge transformations by its "holographic image" of $extU(1)$ fields at the asymptotic boundary of $H^3$.
