The MW51’s proprietary radio technology offers superior performance over a long lifecycle, as it's integrated design has no moving parts and minimized points of failure. The DigiCORA® Software continues to deliver state-of-the-art upper-air measurements with the Vaisala RS41 Radiosonde, and further improves the intuitive day-to-day use.
The improved computing power enables the MW51 system to receive and process sounding data simultaneously from multiple radiosondes with the new multisounding capability. You can even connect multiple SPS511s to the DigiCORA software to increase the number of radiosondes.
The compact Sounding Processing Subsystem SPS511 significantly reduces the footprint of the sounding system, and the included wall-mounting kit offers further space optimization. The IP54 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water and makes the system suitable also for research campaigns.
The MW51 is easy to learn, use, and maintain. Configuration and management are made easy with an intuitive message configurator, system overview panel, and comprehensive diagnostics. System capabilities can easily be extended through optional software upgrades, without the need to update the hardware.
In today’s world, meteorological agencies face significant hybrid and cyber threats, such as GPS interference and cyberattacks, which can lead to inaccurate weather forecasts. Vaisala addresses these challenges by enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring data accuracy, and maintaining trustworthiness.
MW51 conforms to international radio and electrical requirements, ensuring safe and compliant operations. The system uses industry-leading security measures, protecting against data threats and unauthorized access. Regular security and software updates provide data integrity and peace of mind. Our industry-first message authentication ensures that radiosonde messages remain unaltered during transit to provide reliable weather data.
