WINDS — WEATHER INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Continuous Environmental Monitoring. Zero Compromise on Reliability.

WINDS (Weather Intelligence and Networked Data Systems) stations are engineered for unattended operation in real-world conditions — delivering accurate, real-time weather data across agricultural, urban, and industrial environments.

WINDS stations measure 10+ environmental parameters — temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, soil moisture, and more — in real time. Solar-powered and designed for remote operation, they transmit data via GPRS, Wi-Fi, or LoRa.
