Colorado State University Beams Weather Radar Data

摘要

The Colorado State University CHILL (CSU-CHILL) National Weather Radar Facility has deployed Exalt Communications' EX-2.4i microwave radio system to reliably deliver real-time weather radar data from its remote location to researchers on the CSU campus. The system allows campus researchers to monitor live weather events. It also eliminates the need to manually transfer data on storage disks between the remote site and the campus.rn"Our researchers wanted to be able to study live events without having to drive out to the remote facility, and Exalt's license-exempt radio system gave us plenty of bandwidth and could be deployed very quickly," says David Brunkow, Senior Engineer at the CHILL site. "We now have a completely reliable connection that stays up in even the most severe weather conditions."rnThe EX-2.4i system at CSU-CHILL is currently configured to carry 50 Mb/s of Ethernet data over a distance of 6 miles.
