We are the modern weather safety platform – software and hardware that work seamlessly together to protect thousands of people every day. We have two primary types of hardware:

Outdoor Warning Systems are mounted to be visible and audible to the nearby area, with a strobe light and speakers for a siren and text-to-speech messaging.

Weather Stations are typically mounted alongside our Outdoor Warning Systems and provide our customers with real-time, site-specific weather conditions and camera imagery.
