WHO: FTS was founded in 1980 to develop better solutions – more reliable and easier to use, and to provide better sales and engineering support for the demanding weather information requirements of North America’s wild land environmental management agencies. Today, the rock-solid dependability and fast, trouble-free operation of FTS equipment has made our systems the most reliable choice for government agencies from Canada’s far north regions to the deserts and coastal regions of Mexico and all points in between.

WHAT: FTS designs and manufactures weather stations, hydrological monitoring systems, and software to meet our customers’ operational requirements.  We provide complete, integrated, ready-to-go solutions. Communications options, designed and manufactured by FTS, range from GOES satellite transmitters to networks of hundreds of radio and telephone modem equipped weather stations, and numerous other options. FTS provides free, life-time technical phone support for all of our customers and also offers a wide range of comprehensive in-the-field service, maintenance, and installation  contracts.

WHY CHOOSE FTS: FTS weather stations reflect over three decades of research and development focused on creating the world’s most reliable, simplest to use, and easiest to maintain remote-site environmental monitoring systems.

WHERE: FTS stations have proven themselves under the most demanding conditions, from the far North’s Harding Icefield to the sun beaten, wind-blown salt and sand of the Mexican coast. Our customers include over 50 government agencies in the United States, Canada, and Mexico – customers who demand the highest levels of reliability, accuracy, and operational effectiveness from their meteorological and hydrological monitoring systems.

TODAY and TOMORROW: FTS automated weather stations, communications technology, and software will continue to advance reliability and maintainability standards for weather information systems, from single sites to nationwide networks.   Ongoing research and development is dedicated to constant improvement of our equipment and software.
