Lightning Detection & Warning Systems
PTC works with TOA Systems, Inc. (TOA) to supply lightning location and lightning hazard warning systems. TOA 's time-of-arrival based Lightning Location System (LLS) technology has been proven over the past 20 years in operational networks in the U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Columbia, South Africa, Israel, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Sweden, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, and Australia.

The LLS technology, with the latest enhancements, forms the basis for ALPS™, the Advanced Lightning Positioning System. The low acquisition and implementation costs, as well as the power, flexibility and expandability of ALPS™ are unprecedented, and has resulted in a rapidly expanding base of new or upgraded LLS networks in the USA, Australia, S. Korea, Brunei in a short period of time. TOA's systems offer affordable and reliable detection and location of cloud-to-ground and cloud lightning, achieving accuracies better than 250m in typical national configurations. ALPS™ also has excellent long-range (>2500km) detection capabilities, making it ideal for providing oceanic coverage.
