The Weather Reach Server communicates with the weather stations to collect weather data. The Weather Reach Server supports several communication methods:
  • Standard Phone (ET107) - A modem enables communication over a standard public telephone network. The Weather Reach Server initiates communication by calling the weather station's dedicated phone number.

  • Direct Connect (ET107) - A short-haul modem enables communication directly between the PC and a weather station.

  • Wireless (Turf Weather) - Telemetry radios enable wireless data communication. The weather station radio transmits data to a radio connected toa base station computer up to 0.5 miles away.

  • Cellular IP - A cellular modem enables communication via the Internet. AirLink Raven digital cellular modems operate on the Verizon Wireless CDMA or AT&T GPRS networks to provide IP (Internet Protocol) addressable Internet access to the weather station.
