Windbird makes wind measurement affordable. It is the first fully autonomous wind station whose price is within reach of the general public.
Subscription included for the first year, then €20/year.
* Price including French VAT. The public price before tax is €335; taxes vary by country.
With its small size and weighing only a few hundred grams, Windbird can perch anywhere.
You can even take it on vacation with you.
Windbird is energy-independent. It can be installed even where there is no electricity source.
It is powered by a military-grade battery, lasting about 2 years (replacement ~€30).
Windbird does not need nearby WiFi, a smartphone or a SIM card.
It connects to the Internet on its own, using the Sigfox 0G cellular network, available in many countries*.
Turn it on and off you go! It's as simple as that.
Thanks to its GPS chip, Windbird always knows where it is. Its position is automatically updated on the map.
Windbirds like to help each other. They therefore share their data.
The goal is to create a universal wind monitoring network that unites all the users.
A Windbird installed on a kitesurfing spot may be useful to a glider pilot.
A Windbird installed at an aerodrome can help a farmer.
A Windbird installed on a farm may be of service to a kitesurfer.
The future of weather is in sharing. This is why all Windbirds give real-time public access to their data. Everyone is free to innovate by using the data in their own way and imagining the uses of tomorrow.
