Read practical know-how based on the 10+ years of experience in the meteorological industry of Jan Barani, who is the designer of the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro micro-weather stations.

Find out what is the ideal IoT weather station for a meteorological network

• Would an ideal low-cost WMO-compliant weather station look like the MeteoHelix®?

• Can network service and maintenance be optimized with measurement traceability in mind?

Find out what is a vandalism-tolerant meteorological network

• Is a high-density meteorological network based on affordable micro weather stations inherently vandalism-proof

• How does higher data density affect vandalism tolerance?

• Can redundancy be affordably created using IoT technologies while increasing network reliability

• Does a micro weather station designed to prevent data access to thieves and with minimal resale or recyclable material value already exist?

MeteoHelix® IoT Pro to be featured on the LoRaWAN Wall of Fame at the Things Conference

The MeteoHelix® IoT Pro weather station will be displayed publicly at The Things Conference in Amsterdam, Holland on January 31 and February 1, 2019. The Things Conference is the largest LoRaWAN conference and will showcase IoT devices from all over the world. It will feature speakers such as Nicolas Sornin, the CTO and Inventor of LoRa. He will share his experiences with LoRa, Semtech and will inform attendees of what developments to expect in the upcoming year.

MeteoHelix® IoT Pro is a professional AWOS weather station designed with IoT wireless technologies and aimed at the precision agricultural sector and professional meteorological deployments in Africa, South America, Asia, USA and Europe. It features an open source communication protocol and can be connected to LoRaWAN via secure OTAA authentication and also to Sigfox networks.

BARANI DESIGN Technologies, the holder of helical technology for compact weather stations will be opening its doors to private equity investments. Patented helical design offers strong product differentiation and enables BARANI DESIGN to be the leader in professional precision climatic measurement. 

“It is becoming very challenging to keep up with the rising demand for our products” from the words of CTO, Jan Barani. “The one-of-a-kind helical technology has been proven in professional applications including Antarctica, and offers a stepping stone from professional technology into the home weather station market, which requires a strong marketing investment.”

While the professional meteorological industry is undergoing transformation and consolidation, there is strong opportunity for growth in emerging markets where the Internet of Things revolution is making wireless technologies affordable. “Our MeteoHelix® IoT Pro weather stations are attracting a lot of attention since they leverage professional measurement technology and affordable wireless technologies to bring never before seen combination of measurement qualities and ease of use to the sub $ 600 weather station market.”

“We have become investment limited in growth and are opening up talks to find the right partner/s and investors."  BARANI DESIGN Technologies is well positioned to take a big chunk of the professional meteorological instrument market and also a big chunk of the middle market as dominated by Davis weather stations.
