Xcast improves your road surface temperature forecasts by up to 70%
Xcast is a technology that uses local observations from Xcast Sensors for enhanced forecasting accuracy.
Xcast sensors are battery-powered, meaning they can be installed virtually anywhere. No need for electricians, external power supplies, or infrastructure work.
The sensors communicate wirelessly over cellular networks and are automatically integrated into your Wx Horizon account. Activate the sensor using your smartphone and the data starts flowing.
Operating the sensors is effortless and maintenance-free. The battery lasts for + 3 years after which they are replaced with a new unit. Vaisala’s Network Operations Center is remote monitoring the device’s health making sure everything is running without interruptions.
