At an elevation of more than {{convert|6,000|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}}, the [[Mount Washington Observatory]] (MWO) in [[New Hampshire]] uses a FreeWave service{{buzzword inline|date=August 2019}} to capture data from six weather stations and transmit the data to an Ethernet-connected gateway. The data provides information such as temperature and wind speeds for MWO's climate research. Weather observations are reported to the [[National Weather Service]] and [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] for use in nationwide and global forecasting models. | At an elevation of more than {{convert|6,000|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}}, the [[Mount Washington Observatory]] (MWO) in [[New Hampshire]] uses a FreeWave service{{buzzword inline|date=August 2019}} to capture data from six weather stations and transmit the data to an Ethernet-connected gateway.

Using the [[Node-RED]] programming language, an app was created quickly and easily to gather data from analog sensors. The product helps drive down operating costs by reducing the amount of travel for visual inspections in the event of a problem such as a leakage that prevents a tank from filling. | ||
The Sangamon Valley Public Water District<ref>{{Cite web |last=Farr |first=Andrew |date=11 June 2018 |title=A Wave of Smart Water Solutions |url=https://waterfm.com/wave-smart-water- | The Sangamon Valley Public Water District<ref>{{Cite web |last=Farr |first=Andrew |date=11 June 2018 |title=A Wave of Smart Water Solutions |url=https://waterfm.com/wave-smart-water-solutions/ |website=waterfm.com}}</ref> (SVPWD) in [[Mahomet, Illinois]], implemented FreeWave radios in a new SCADA system to communicate with remote wells and control equipment and settings from a central location rather than sending personnel to collect data and monitor the water system. SVPWD reported 50 percent cost savings, with savings expected to rise as leaks and inefficiencies are detected and corrected. | ||
When strapped to a drone,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Skilling |first=Chaney |date=July 21, 2018 |title=Colorado tech companies take advantage of drones to expand the use of their products |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2018/07/21/colorado-company-drone-usage/ |website=www.denverpost.com}}</ref> FreeWave's technology can monitor remote environments and detect such issues as thermal fluctuations and fallen power lines in real-time. Then the radios can relay information to such parties as fire departments, insurance and telephone companies, and dispatchers. | When strapped to a drone,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Skilling |first=Chaney |date=July 21, 2018 |title=Colorado tech companies take advantage of drones to expand the use of their products |url=https://www.denverpost.com/2018/07/21/colorado-company-drone-usage/ |website=www.denverpost.com}}</ref> FreeWave's technology can monitor remote environments and detect such issues as thermal fluctuations and fallen power lines in real-time.
