Can LoRaWAN Networks Transform the Indian Meteorological Department into a World Leader in the Fight Against Global Warming?

Advantages of LoRaWAN Star-on-Star vs. LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 and others:

  • Extend wireless network coverage 10+ km past existing LTE, GSM, NB-IoT, CAT-M1 coverage with LoRaWAN LTE gateways

  • LoRaWAN gateway affordability ensures deployment of double and triple-redundant wireless networks affordably due to its Star-on-Star approach vs. mesh networking.

  • Meteorological sensor nodes communicate with multiple gateways, ensuring reliability of wireless data transmission and interference resistance. In case of a gateway failure, data is automatically rerouted via other gateways.

  • LoRaWAN networks allow the addition of unlimited nodes without rebuilding the wireless infrastructure.

  • LoRaWAN networks naturally permit network expansion and do not require trained personnel in the field to support network operation since gateways act as only message forwarders (data pass-through) and sensor nodes do not join/pair with gateways, but directly with the application running at the Met Department.

Can one wind sensor replace 41 different wind sensors? Let’s take a look how

Heated anemometer MeteoWind® 2 in extreme winter icing

Wouldn’t it be nice if one combined wind speed and wind direction sensor could replace 41 different wind sensors?

  • MeteoWind® Compact shares the proven robust cup design of its big brother MeteoWind® 2, thereby simplifying field service.

  • The patented elliptic anemometer cup design ensures MEASNET accuracy and precision (Sample MEASNET calibration report) and enables MeteoWind® anemometers to excel in wind resource assessment.

  • All weather data reliability is ensured by superb winter snow shedding and a heated version of each MeteoWind® anemometer is also available.

  • Additionally, MeteoWind® sensors offer greater accuracy than required by the WMO and NWS, thereby making them maintenance free for many years in meteorological installations.

A new leader in anemometer design for for wind resource assessment?

MeteoWind® 2 anemometer - the Thies CLIMA First Class competitor

MeteoWind® 2 anemometer - the Thies CLIMA First Class competitor

Will the most established player in the wind resource assessment industry soon copy the MeteoWind® 2 anemometer with wind vane configuration from BARANI DESIGN to give up its lead in anemometer design? Would this finally lead to the adoption of combined wind sensors into the IEC 61400-12-1?

The "First Class" anemometer series are arguably the best anemometers the market has to offer. However, the recently released Advanced X anemometer from Thies CLIMA can be said to come in the footsteps of BARANI DESIGN's MeteoWind® 2, which is arguably wind resource assessment market's best anemometer and wind vane combo. The adoption of RS-485 MODBUS communication with user selectable RTU or ASCII output and a body/bearing heater with exactly 25W can be read right out of MeteoWind's data sheet. Could this be a reaction of a well-established player in the wind resource assessment industry to a new challenger? 

BARANI DESIGN Technologies is known for their innovation and product quality. Let us wait and see whether they can take the lead away in anemometer design. If Thies CLIMA copies the MeteoWind® 2 configuration, the answer will be clear.

TECHNICAL NOTE: A combined wind sensor integrates an anemometer together with a wind vane. MeteoWind® 2 is able to meet MEASNET wind speed accuracy and linearity requirements with an integrated wind vane, while all other MEASNET capable anemometers are able to achieve MEASNET linearity and accuracy only in a stand-alone configuration.
