Designed for use in a network configuration, the WeatherPod Sensors provide an accurate and timely assessment of weather and environmental conditions over any area of interest.
Weighing just over 2 pounds each, WeatherPod Sensors are extremely compact (6.375” diameter x 6” tall) and durable. WeatherPod Sensors are rapid to deploy because they are self sufficient with batteries and solar panels. Deployment of a network of WeatherPod Sensors is simple because the units are designed to automatically network via the integrated wireless radio. With no need for heavy mounting brackets, the WeatherPod Sensors are lightweight and easy to deploy.
Each WeatherPod Sensor contains a GPS receiver for position, and an electronic compass and two axis tilt sensors to determine orientation. The 900 MHz or UHF radio modem is used forcommunications with a PC in the field or to an optional Satellite Communications Pod SatPod™ for long-haul communications to/from any location in the world.
A variety of ADSS software packages allow users to communicate to the WeatherPod Sensors through the 1) wireless modem, 2) the long-haul SatPod, or 3) a direct hardwire RS-232 connection.
