In the past week Meteor have been installing a major Flood Monitoring system on behalf of a Local Authority in Wales. This will help to protect thousands of homes and demonstrates large scale multi-mode real time monitoring, incorporating level monitoring, cameras and metrological sensors integrated to a web platform.

Meteor have provided two MCC-972XS GPRS Telemetry units to Partech Instruments for retro fitment on data buoys at PD Ports Teesside. The units report multiple Water Quality parameters in real time with 15 minute data acquisition and also control the instrumentation for power efficiency. The use of Meteor telemetry has increased the data collection capability of the buoys whilst reducing power consumption.
Thankyou to everyone who visited the stand at WWEM in Telford, it was good to catch up with existing customers and to meet many potential new ones!
Meteor Communications and Isodaq technologies are delighted to announce an agreement where Isodaq will offer the Meteor Nexus GPRS camera in conjunction with their range of existing telemetry solutions. Matt Dibbs, MD of Meteor Communications, said “We are delighted to be working with Isodaq, a company which compliments the skills we have in place at Meteor. With their range of technologies and global reach this will help the Meteor Nexus camera to reach its’ full potential across the Environmental and Utilities markets”
The monitoring of snowfall in remote locations in Iceland is an example of the harsh environments in which Meteor Communications operate.
The above image, showing the first snowfall of the year, is from one of the Meteor Nexus Camera units currently deployed in Iceland to monitor snow conditions in remote, rugged locations where mains power is unavailable.

Meteor are delighted to announce that they will be present at the WWEM show on 5-6th November at Telford International Centre and also at the inaugural Flood Defence Expo at Excel on 4-5th December. At both shows Meteor will be holding seminar sessions highlighting the versatility of the MCE-Nexus GPRS camera system. The full range of Meteor products will be on view, along with live data and images from sites across the UK and Europe.
Due to the unprecedented success of the Meteor Nexus Remote Camera a dedicated website is now online to show the capabilities of the unit in more detail. Perfect for remote locations due to ultra low power consumption it enables high quality images to be economically acquired. Click here to explore the Nexus Website
As the Summer Festival season gets into full swing, Meteor technology will once again be behind the environmental monitoring and management solutions used in many events across the country from the largest music festivals to the smallest summer fête.
Speed of deployment, robustness and reliability in conjunction with sophisticated alarming functionality, ease of use and first class support make Meteor solutions the clear choice for serious environmental professionals.
Meteor have provided a hosted data dissemination solution to defra and the Environment Agency, providing predicted Water Quality information for beaches across the UK. Taking information from a central prediction database, beach controllers can subscribe to the service to provide a daily SMS predicting the Water Quality for that beach.
Hosted at the Meteor Data Centre, the system is expected to send over 75,000 messages during the 2014 Bathing Season. Meteor have also developed a robust standalone LED display for use at beaches, which will automatically update daily with Water Quality predictions.
Following the recent flood events the Environment Agency’s NWQIS team have deployed sixteen MCE-ESNET units on the Somerset Levels, monitoring Water Quality in rivers during the continued pumping operations. Meteor have provided a dedicated web portal with recent data not only from the ESNET units but also from existing EA water level gauging stations and pumps. The complete system was operational within 48 hours, showing the speed at which the NWQIS team can respond using Meteor technologies.
