Stability. Enterprise sensing hardware, with enterprise quality servers and software. Automatically backed-up, redundant server architecture and commercial grade messaging services. Accuracy. Using Nano-second timing we are able to calculate to within +/- thirty feet the location of the most energetic portion of any cloud-ground lightning strike. Relevance. The XkyFire system filters away that 92-96% of …
