WHO: Founded in 1980, FTS’ first mission was to develop improved weather station solutions with increased reliability and ease of use for the demanding requirements of North America’s wild land environmental management agencies.  At the same time we made a life-long commitment to providing industry leading sales and engineering support so we could deliver the best total solution for our customers. In the early 1990s we turned our focus on the challenges faced by water management agencies.  Today, we offer a broad range of integrated water quality monitoring and gaging solutions featuring the rock-solid dependability and fast, trouble-free operation that has made our systems the most reliable choice for government agencies from Alaska’s far north to the coasts of Mexico and all points in between.

WHAT: FTS designs and manufactures hydrological monitoring systems, meteorological stations, and software to meet our customers’ operational requirements.  We provide complete, integrated, ready-to-go solutions with unique capabilities for water quality, turbidity, and gaging stations and analysis software. Communications options designed and manufactured by FTS, range from GOES satellite transmitters to networks of hundreds of radio and telephone modem equipped weather stations, and numerous other options. FTS offers free, life-time technical phone support for all of our customers as well as a comprehensive range of in-the-field service, maintenance, and installation  contracts.

WHY CHOOSE FTS: FTS equipment and software reflect three decades of research and development focused on creating the world’s most reliable, simplest to use, and easiest to maintain remote-site environmental monitoring systems.  FTS systems excel in making it easy to meet complex monitoring challenges.

WHERE: FTS stations have proven themselves under the most demanding conditions, from the Harding Icefield to the sun beaten, wind-blown salt and sand of the Mexican coast, from flashy mountain streams to big city reservoirs. Our customers include over 50 government agencies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico – customers who demand the highest levels of reliability, accuracy, flexibility, simplicity and operational effectiveness from their hydrological and meteorological monitoring systems.

TODAY and TOMORROW: FTS hydrological monitoring stations, communications technology, and software will continue to advance reliability and maintainability standards for remote-site monitoring systems, from single sites to nationwide networks.   25% of our staff are dedicated to research and development focused on constant improvement of our equipment and software.
