What is AWOS Live?
Whether you are an existing customer or purchasing your first Mesotech AWOS system, you are probably wondering what AWOS Live is and how it differs from Mesotech’s flagship AWOS system, Airport Weather Advisor®.
AWOS Live is the new cloud deployment of Mesotech’s established product Airport Weather Advisor® (AWA). It provides all the features and security of the AWA web-based application with the convenience and accessibility of the cloud.
What is the Cloud?
To put it simply, when software or an app such as Airport Weather Advisor® is deployed on “the cloud” what this means is that it is being run off the internet and not locally on your computer.
What are the Advantages of the Cloud?
- You can access your information from any device anywhere in the world. Since the data isn’t stored locally, it can be accessed, securely, from anywhere.
- You don’t need a device with gigabytes of free memory in order to access the information since it is being stored on the internet and not on the machine.
- Cloud based applications, such as AWOS Live, can be updated, tested, and deployed quickly to get the best working product into your hands.
- Information can be securely backed up and restored faster in the event of a crash.
