Overview of Meteorological Station Connection Methods

Meteorological stations collect crucial weather data and transmit it using various connection methods.

Ethernet: Provides a stable, high-speed connection via wired networks, ideal for fixed stations.

Serial Communication (RS485/RS232): Used for short-distance data transfer to nearby data collectors or computers.

WiFi: Enables wireless connectivity for flexible, mobile installations, great for temporary or remote sites.

Bluetooth: Offers close-range data transfer, useful for pairing with mobile devices for on-site analysis.

LoRa: Long-range, low-power wireless communication, perfect for isolated stations.

GPRS/GSM: Leverages mobile networks for remote monitoring and data transmission.

NB-IoT: Narrowband IoT technology for efficient, wide-area data communication.

Satellite: Ensures reliable data transfer in extreme, hard-to-reach locations.

Wired Interfaces (USB): Direct data transfer to computers for analysis and storage.

These methods ensure that meteorological data is transmitted reliably to servers or cloud platforms for remote monitoring and analysis, supporting accurate weather prediction and management strategies.
