FTS Meteorological Stations

FTS weather stations are uniquely designed for fast, easy deployment, extreme reliability under harsh conditions,  and simplicity of maintenance and servicing.  Our weather stations are in use with over 50 government agencies from remote northern Canada, to the swamps of the US south east and the harsh, wind-blown, salt environments of the Mexican coast.

FTS communication technologies are among the world’s most respected solutions for the high reliability and durability requirements of remote site monitoring stations and networks.  Wherever your monitoring needs take you, we can bring your data back.

Color coded military connectors, color coded cables, no exposed wiring or terminal strips, no requirement to enter calibration constants for sensors when changing or servicing.  No programming required.
