Davis Instruments Wireless Repeaters

Davis Instruments wireless repeaters extend the range of your wireless station--for miles on end. In testing, Davis achieved an incredible 4 miles (6.4 km) of transmission distance using two of their long-range repeaters equipped with Yagi antennas. The actual range will vary depending on antenna height, the terrain and foliage, buildings, other manmade structures, and RF interference. Nevertheless, these repeaters are ideal for agricultural use or research applications where long distances are an issue. These solar-powered models include a solar panel and lithium backup battery. Long-range antennas are sold separately.

Standard wireless repeaters are ideal for most applications. They use the same dipole antenna found on all of their wireless stations and consoles. Useful range is up to 1,000 ft. (300 m) outdoors, line of sight. Typical range through walls is 200 ft.to 400 ft. (60 to 120 m). AC-powered models include a power adapter. Solar-powered models include the solar panel and a lithium backup battery.

Are you not happy with "just" a four mile maximum range? You may daisy-chain the repeaters to further extend your useful range. Since they operate on FHSS and transmit digital data, you may opt to put several repeaters together.

These wireless repeaters may be the solution you are looking for when it comes to getting the data home from the field. Order your own weather data solution from DX Engineering and go the distance.
