Tempest Lightning Network

Real-time solution for real-world impacts

Early warning is key to protecting employees and infrastructure. Tempest Lightning Network detects and distributes precision lightning data for threat assessment tools, warning applications, and alerting devices to minimize vulnerability and maximize productivity. 

Local, regional, global

Local and Regional Solutions

For local applications, you can purchase a TempestOne Weather Station – which includes lightning detection and alerting – and enhance local lightning detection while also benefiting from TLN's global lightning network.

TLN's Location Accuracy

Detection to the Max

TLN’s global network of lightning sensors is capable of detecting strikes with unparalleled accuracy, delivering strike data for threat assessment over large areas.

TLN's Detection Efficiency

Australasia data is available through our partner, MetraWeather.

Industrial-Grade Sensor

The LPS-200 advanced lightning sensor with digital signal processing is designed to deliver the latest in precision detection. Leveraging LF/VHF dual-band operation, the sensor processes lightning strikes from cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning simultaneously.

Using a high sensitivity, low noise wide-band receiver, state-of-the-art digital filters, and precision GPS time reference, sensors characterize and categorize each strike the instant it occurs.

• Captures over 95% of all cloud-to-ground strikes
• Geo-location precision to <100m
• Differentiates positively charged strokes/strikes vs negatively charged
• Uses patented time of arrival capability to determine the location of strikes

Local Area Sensor

TempestOne Weather Stations include a sensitive RF receiver that detects the environmental electrical emissions from lightning activity up to 40km away while rejecting disturbances from man-made signals. This advanced warning capability alerts users so that precautions can be taken.

• Detection of both cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud lightning activity within a 40km range
• Intelligent algorithm provides false detection rejection
• Antenna auto-tuning
• Works in conjunction with patented time of arrival capability to determine the location of strikes
