KS i-2300

KS I-2300

This KS i-2300 model series is mainly used for aircraft’s, airport, researchers, military and other related organizations in order to monitor the lightning activities .

This system is capable of covering up to 1000 km radius of high resolution  lightning data per sub station.

Through MDF and TOA methods algorithms, KS i-2300 is capable of creating a large lightning network detection system that covers up the whole nation.

Multiple sub station can be linked through a server client cloud method or lightning network centralize processor to create an overlap wider sensor radius.
