MeteoShield® Professional on the peaks of Africa

MeteoShield® Professional, the patented helical design of a solar radiation shield for atmospheric air temperature sensors is making inroads on the African continent. It was installed at the GAW station on Mt. Kenya as part of the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) project by the Kenya Meteorological Department. Mount Keya is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second-highest peak in all of Africa right after Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Strategic partnership of BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA

BARANI DESIGN Technologies and Comptus Inc. of USA strategic partnership announced.

BARANI DESIGN Technologies of Slovakia will create a strategic partnership with Comptus Inc. of USA, who is one of the only two producers of the most widely used anemometer for wind energy applications worldwide. The immediate benefits of this partnership will include:

• MeteoShield® Professional will be soon available in a Made-in-USA version

• MeteoHelix® IoT Pro micro weather stations will soon be available in Assembled-in-USA LoRaWAN and Sigfox version with NB-IoT to follow

• Comptus Inc. will become a USA & worldwide distributor and integrator of BARANI DESIGN anemometers, weather stations and sensors

• BARANI DESIGN will become a worldwide distributor of the A75-101 & A75-104 anemometer and A75-302 wind direction vane, the direct equivalents of the well known NRG #40 anemometer and NRG #200 wind vane. These products were also sold through Second Wind and Vaisala as the C3 anemometer and PV1 wind vane

In a technology sharing program, both companies will join forces to develop a low-cost wireless precision wind measurement solution to complement the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro wireless weather stations and to directly compete in the high-end and middle market segments in agricultural weather station applications. The MeteoHelix® and MeteoWind® Compact combination will become the only affordably priced weather station solution to meet the Wold Meteorological Organization (WMO) measurement standards. This meteorological sensor solution is aimed at putting precision back into precision agriculture which is currently being dominated by measurement equipment not conforming to worldwide measurement standards.
