We’d like to highlight one of those with a recent communication from Kelvin Price of C.W.

In our latest video, Alex Pulido gives an overview of how the Weather MicroServer works. With the ability to interface to any of our weather station models, this powerful communication device lets you access real-time met data from anywhere in the world.
