Present live, real-time radar to your viewers.
In today’s extreme weather environment, news departments must be prepared to operate from anywhere at any time. Whether it’s flood, tornado, hurricane, wildfire, or any disaster; a flexible and portable easy to use broadcast weather solution is an inexpensive insurance policy.
IntelliWeather’s EWB1 is a portable, low-cost backup weather solution for simultaneous broadcast TV and optional Internet stream broadcasting. It requires only power and an Internet connection, supporting Cable, DSL, 3G/4G/5G cellular, and satellite connections. If and when the need arises, it can be up and running in minutes from a live van, at the transmitter head-end, or at a temporary studio, keeping viewers informed when disaster strikes.
EWB1 allows you to show live, real-time radar to your viewers complete with telestration tools for impactful storytelling. In addition to live radar, our propriety software, XRAD3D, comes with a complete set of surface observations, models, forecasts, NWS advisories and much more all designed to allow your news department to provide the fastest, most accurate weather data when disaster strikes.
