Software upgrade enables connection of the WeatherHawk to the World Wide Web (13/10/2003)

Have you ever thought of installing your own weather station to monitor weather conditions? Would your customers benefit from having details of changes in local weather?

WeatherHawk is the most durable, versatile and easy to use automatic weather station available and can be installed in minutes. Wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, barometric pressure and rainfall sensors are fully installed and preconfigured for immediate use.

Such a cost-effective weather station is ideal for many outdoor sporting venues where weather information is relevant to the service provided, such as golf courses and hang-gliding clubs.

A software upgrade enables connection of the WeatherHawk to the World Wide Web - the user can then access the weather on the WeatherHawk by referring to the website. For example, private airfields can install a WeatherHawk at a fixed location and use the internet as a weather information notice board for their members. Any golf course or caravan can use a similar concept to augment their website.

Available in two configurations, WeatherHawk can be connected directly into the serial port of a PC, or any available USB port using an optional adapter. Alternatively, Wireless WeatherHawk transmits via spread spectrum radios in the 2.4 GHz radio band, capable of up to 0.4km line of sight wireless transmission range.
