Our core markets include aviation, agriculture, mining, construction, sport, weather forecasts and home enthusiasts. Our weather statio

ns are currently operating in South Africa, UK, India, Mozambique, Uganda, Swaziland and Namibia. The Company was established 10 years ago by the owner Russell Troy Witthuhn, an aspiring inventor and Electronic and Software Engineer and is being run as an efficient and dynamic one-man operation, with the assistance and support of his wife, Chantal. In the past Russell made many attempts inventing, producing and manufacturing unique products and finally a break-through came in 2006 when he designed a cost effective Internet based weather station with live monitoring. The motivation behind the product design was because Russell, a paragliding pilot, could not afford the cost of a automated weather station. Other pilots started using the online system and became aware of its benefits which generated much interest thereby becoming a commercially viable product. It has been a slow journey for the Witthuhn's, determined to establish the company and finance the production and design themselves without the assistance of investors and partnerships.
