Advances in wireless telecommunications mean that where previously, it simply wasn't viable to have a manned weather station, unmanned wireless weather stations can now be installed and monitored 24/7.
There are many weather stations positioned across the land, especially in hurricane, flood, and avalanche-prone areas.

Telecommunications training and technology is more than just telephony. If you think of it in terms of data collection and exchange, you can see how there is a fascinating world out there.

You may be attracted by any one of the different aspects such as design, installation, or monitoring of these vital wireless weather stations.
