Automated Weather Monitoring
We supply, install, and maintain Altimeter stations, Automated Weather Observing Systems with scaled or complete suite of sensors.
We've got you covered
We supply, install, and maintain OSI AWOS AV system for airports and private airstrips. The OSI AWOS AV system is a fully automated aviation weather observing and reporting system designed to support airborne and ground users. The AWOS is equipped with dual-pressure sensors for determining official altimeter settings, visibility, and reporting via UHF data radio, Internet, land line or cell phones.
A basic OSI AWOS AV system consists of:
- Barometric pressure sensors
- Visibility sensor
It can be enhanced with:
- Wind speed/direction sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Humidity sensor
- Ceilometer
A full OSI AWOS AV™ system calculates the altimeter setting, density altitude, condensation altitude, dew point - and can report the prevailing and gust wind components for pre-programmed runway headings. With OSI AV software and a Digital Data Receiver (DDR), tower weather telemetry and any NOTAMs are communicated by broadcast audio on a pilot-activated VHF frequency or an Endless Loop Dedicated Frequency (ELDF) on a specified VHF frequency; or by viewing the operator's terminal display in the FBO location, Internet and dialup voice modem options allow remote user access from anywhere on earth.

Visibility Sensors
The OWI-430 DSP-WIVIS which is a part of the AWOS Category IV system installed and maintained by Ping Telecoms is the most advanced weather and visibility sensor ever made. The fully automated instrument provides accurate visibility, present weather and precipitation measurement in a single sensor. This 3rd generation intelligent sensor uses all digital signal processing (DSP) for no-drift high-accuracy results.
Some advantages of this sensor include:
- Combines present weather identification, precipitation measurement and visibility into a single rugged package.
- Outstanding performance yet low cost.
- Advanced scintillation technology.
- Intelligent algorithms based on over 100 million hours of OSi sensor field data.
- Rugged design - field proven from tropical to sub-arctic environments.
- Long-term reliability - designed for unattended operation 24/7/365.

CLOUD BASE Sensor
Ping Telecoms provides high performance cloud height sensors (ceilometers) that give accurate cloud and obscuration information as part of the complete AWOS Category IV.
The Ceilometer is durable with a demonstrated mean-time-between-failures of over 150,000 hours and laser life of 10 years. The ceilometer has been tested to IEC environmental standards for vibration, shock, impulse voltages, transients, operating temperature, and EMI susceptibility and emissions.
The CMBE Ceilometer installed with the AWOS has the following features:
- Detects up to five different Cloud layers
- Sky coverage Algorithm
- Eye-safe laser for a detection range of 25,000 or 40,000 feet
- Automatic self-adjustment means no periodic, manual adjustments are needed
- Small, lightweight and modern design with flexible power supply (12 VDC or 110/240 VAC)
