Current status of lightning detection technology








youLightning and strong storm detection and early warning are of vital significance for protecting life, valuable instruments and equipment infrastructure (power grid, railway, power station), etc.

youMost of the current lightning detection technologies are still at the level of decades ago and are outdated. The data provided is often inaccurate and even errors occur.

youAlthough the current lightning detection technology has many shortcomings, the world currently spends up to US$4 billion every year on detection hardware, data transmission services and data subscription services.
















entropySolution








youEntropy's patented technology uses a three-microprocessor and a 4-channel antenna architecture to enhance signal detection and data analysis processing capabilities, making the identification, tracking and reporting of storm and thunder activities more reliable.

youSeveral times the amount of data acquisition in current technology, real-time data reporting makes emergency decisions for extreme weather more efficient

youEliminate reports of errors by identifying background electromagnetic noise

youMobile detection can be achieved using handheld devices, or it can be made into a fixed location to form a monitoring network to expand the monitoring range.
