It’s already out there —
running when it matters.
OptiMet stations are live in some of New Zealand’s most exposed places, delivering through the conditions that take ordinary monitoring offline. Here’s what they’ve done in the real world.
Live through a major weather event — not a single missed reading.
When a major weather system moved across the South Island, the stations in Central Otago stayed online the whole way through. As terrestrial coverage came and went, each station switched to SpaceX satellite and back on its own — and kept delivering weather, water and imagery without a gap.
That’s the difference between a station that reports the weather and one you can rely on when it turns: the data didn’t just survive the event, it reported through it.
Where OptiMet is working now.
Real stations, real sites — across roading, rivers and the high country.
Central Otago high-country stations
All-in-one weather stations running off-grid on solar, feeding live conditions and imagery from exposed alpine road corridors — through snow, frost and storm.
River-bridge monitoring
Weather, water level and weather-triggered road cameras on a river crossing — eyes on the span and the channel when levels rise, delivered in real time.
Roading-network rollout
Stations deployed along a national roading contractor’s corridors for live weather and road-condition awareness, scaling across the network.
Built for the day the weather wins.
Never goes dark
Satellite failover keeps data flowing when the tower drops.
Runs unattended
Solar/battery, −50°C-rated, years between visits.
Thinks on the edge
Captures & alerts on-station, not just after the fact.
Serviced on site
Scheduled maintenance keeps every station honest.
