Montis Corporation

Montis Corporation makes MWOS, a rugged weather observation unit for aviation, roadway and maritime use. The site says the unit combines 360 degree HD imagery, live weather sensors and cloud analytics. The site describes a live demo and a quote request.

The site says the unit is fixed mounted and installs in about six hours. It lists four 8 MP 4K HDR cameras, ultrasonic wind sensing, radar precipitation sensing, 1 TB of onboard storage and Starlink with gigabit Ethernet. It says a battery backup keeps the unit running through power loss.

The software side includes Stratus cloud, web and mobile tools. Stratus cloud offers AI and machine learning analytics, custom alerts and weather data API access. Stratus web shows MWOS and FAA camera feeds, airports, real-time ADS-B traffic and saved routes. Montis Mobile brings imagery into the cockpit.

The site says aviation uses include airports, bush strips and heliports. It says the unit can supplement or replace legacy AWOS. It names heli-ski, remote lodges and medical transport as other uses. It lists Warbelow's Air Ventures and Alaska bush strips as a field setting.

For roads, the site says state DOT camera networks can replace aging CCTV with full observation. It mentions Alaska DOT deployments and a Colorado DOT deployment that is coming soon. For maritime use, it lists harbors, shipping lanes, offshore platforms, fishing fleets and ferry terminals.

The site cites U.S. DOT, FAA and NTSB figures that 35 percent of general aviation accidents involve weather. It says three quarters of those accidents are fatal. It also cites U.S. DOT data on about 750,000 weather-related vehicle crashes each year. It cites a cost of poor visibility above 75 billion dollars a year.

The site says the MWOS can be bought or leased for a lower up-front cost. It compares MWOS with legacy systems on install time, annual cost, capabilities and upkeep. The site includes a testimonial from Warbelow's Air Ventures about its unit at Rampart, Alaska.
