MOBILE THREAT NET is a completely
mobile, real-time weather display system that can be
used in your vehicle and in your office. Brought
to market by TV weather systems giant Baron
Services and technology powerhouse XM Satellite
Radio, Mobile Threat Net has all the features you
want and need.
True Mobility
You can use
the system while parked, or while underway.
Delivery of the weather data to your laptop or PC is via
XM Radio's high-power satellites. Unlike some
satellite systems, this system will work in the worst of
weather - when you need it most.
TV-Like Mapping and
Imagery
Radar images are high-definition,
so you don't see big square pixels when you zoom
in. Instead you see smooth, TV-like imagery.
You can zoom in on weather maps right down to the street
level. You can easily add sensitive
assets/locations to your maps. And you have access
to all 158 NEXRAD Radar sites which update every
5-minutes.
Lightning Data
Real-time
nationwide lightning is automatically displayed as it
occurs.
Storm Tracking
Storm
tracking shows you exactly where and when the storms
will arrive. Patented software automatically
depicts rotating winds or wind shear depicted as
"spinning discs" and storm tracking arrows.
 GPS Tracking
Your
vehicle's position and movement are constantly plotted
on the weather maps so you can see your position in
relation to the weather and/or in relation to an
incident.
All Inclusive
All the
weather data you need is included – NEXRAD, areas of
limited visibility, winds data, and rain/snow/ice lines
see below for a complete list. It's all there for you,
and there are NO EXTRA CHARGES for any of the data
packages, from lightning coverage to the number of radar
sites, to the tropical package - everything is
included.
