Furuno is pleased to announce its participation in the Meteorological Technology World Expo (MTWE) 2026, gathering the world’s leading experts in weather, climate, and environmental technologies, offering a platform for innovation, collaboration, and the exchange of cutting-edge solutions. Visitors can find Furuno at stand G64.
Leveraging decades of expertise in marine radar technology, Furuno has developed compact, lightweight, and solid-state Doppler weather radars that address critical gaps in traditional weather monitoring systems.
Furuno’s WR110 (single polarimetric) and WR2120 (dual polarimetric) X-band Doppler radars are engineered to detect localized weather disturbances, such as torrential rains, tornadoes, and other extreme phenomena, with exceptional precision.
These weather radars are capable of:
Early detection of rain clouds and rainfall intensity through advanced signal processing.
Three-dimensional monitoring of weather phenomena, enabling real-time analysis of precipitation and wind patterns.
Seamless integration into multi-radar systems to expand coverage and eliminate blind spots.
Simple installation and relocation, requiring only a standard AC power outlet and minimal manpower.
Unlike conventional large-scale radars, Furuno’s solutions can be deployed in hard-to-reach locations, such as rooftops, mountainous regions, or remote islands, making them ideal for both urban and rural applications. Their cost-effective design and low maintenance requirements further enhance their appeal for governments, research institutions, and private enterprises.
Notable weather radar solution case studies include:
Georgia Institute of Technology (USA): Enhancing localized weather forecasting in North Georgia to improve public safety.
Public Utilities Board (Singapore): Supporting rainfall monitoring and nowcasting for urban flood management.
Wakkanai Airport (Japan): Improving aircraft takeoff and landing rates through precise weather tracking.
KU Leuven (Belgium): Assisting in sewer flood management with real-time precipitation data.
Aalborg University (Denmark): Observing local urban heavy rain to mitigate risks in densely populated areas.
Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA, USA): Advancing radar network research for more accurate regional weather predictions.
These examples underscore Furuno’s commitment to enhancing safety, operational efficiency, and disaster preparedness through innovative technology.
Meteorological Technology World Expo is the world’s largest annual gathering for meteorological, hydromet, and environmental monitoring professionals.
The 2026 edition, held in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) TECO-2026, will feature:
150+ leading solution providers showcasing the latest advancements in weather technology.
2,000+ attendees from over 100 countries, including industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers.
High-value networking opportunities to foster partnerships and address global challenges in weather forecasting and climate resilience.
Furuno will engage with attendees to demonstrate how its weather radar solutions can complement large-scale systems, fill observational gaps, and provide actionable insights for a wide range of applications, from disaster prevention to transportation safety.
We invite all attendees to visit Furuno’s stand G64 to explore our WR110 and WR2120 weather radars and learn how our technology is shaping the future of meteorological monitoring.
