The Microsferics TCU (Time-Of-Arrival Compute Unit) with included E-field sensor is a standalone lightning detection system for networked high accuracy lightning detection. This device connects over Internet to one of our Time Of Arrival lightning locating servers in Europe or North/Central America. Lightning detections from individual sensors are correlated on the server and special computations are then applied to locate ongoing lightning activity with high precision within the network coverage area.
