StormVector Emergency Response System provides facility scale area wide systems with fastest reaction to any emergency threat, for any size facility. Designed to communicate real-time localized lightning, thunderstorm, and squall line warnings across an extended area. StormVector Base Station communicates storm warnings to a series of portable warning nodes and pager-like pods. The AWS technology is modular and connected through either 900 MHz or 2.4GHz wireless communication channels. The control unit and warning beacons communicate with encrypted data streams, insuring both internal security for the data as well as immunity from communication overlap from other networks in the vicinity. System deployment is as easy as place and power, making it ideal for an evolving disaster response situation.
