VL-100-LRW

Real-Time Detection of Lightning Strikes

Summary

The VL-100 is a LoRaWAN TM Class A device that detects lightning approaching thunderstorms within a 40-kilometer radius. It can determine its approximate distance, the energy level of individual lightning strikes and uses fine-tuned algorithms to reject man-made interference to prevent false positives. It operates entirely on a solar panel and battery for easy maintenance and installation.
