AQ System AB
The people behind AQS have been working with the sodar technique since 1969 when they started to develop measuring equipment for airports. We have 30 years of experience developing sodar technology and we’ll continue to develop it for at least 30 more. Measure wind conditions anytime, anywhere. The modular energy system concept needs minimal attendance and let`s you operate without any permits, sub contractors or additional constructions. The AQ510CW is designed for use in regions with significant snow or icing conditions and prolonged periods of low solar radiation. The system is supplied with solar package, diesel generator, diesel heater and 200L diesel tank and is fully trailerised.

About us
AQSystem has been developing SoDAR solutions for wind measuring since the 1960s. Now the company is taking the next step with its AQ510 Wind Finder.
Leading independent wind consultants have evaluated AQ510 for IEC compliance and issued Final Accuracy results. The classification results are excellent and within the same range as the leading wind LiDAR device. This is a major achievement and sets a new benchmark for SoDAR based remote sensing!
