NTT Advanced Technology (NTT-AT) has developed a highly portable weather meter integrated portable monitoring post, which will begin selling from June 1st next year.

This product is highly portable because it is compact, lightweight, and energy-efficient. It is 75% lighter than conventional products. In addition, the integration of a weather meter and a radiation measuring instrument allows the functions required in times of disaster to be used in a single device. The all-solid-state sensor reduces the maintenance work required for gain adjustment, which was necessary in conventional devices using analog components, and no cooling mechanism is required.

The modularization of communication functions makes it easy to customize and allows the selection of communication services. Two services can be selected from LTE, satellite communication (Widestar or Iridium), wired, LPWA, etc.

Monitoring posts installed in nuclear facilities perform an important function in the event of a nuclear disaster, but they are heavy and difficult to carry, which has led to issues in terms of convenience, safety, and efficiency. This product was developed to solve these issues.
Since 2011, the company has been utilizing its know-how in building and operating sensor equipment that operates outdoors to provide monitoring posts that measure radiation dose rates at work sites.
