5881/A2 Packaged Weather Station
58815881/A2
The full weather-station sensor suite on the bi-directional 50388 Data Transmitter. On-site data analysis processes readings before transmission — averages, maximums, minimums and computed values go over the air instead of raw sample streams, and outside the ALERT protocol the 50388 reports in engineering units with base sets. Commands over the return path are protected by the ALERT2 protocol's encryption and authentication — how bi-directional networks stay secure →
