We are ZX Lidars.
Accurate, Accepted, Affordable Lidars.
Measure the wind higher, further and faster than traditional met masts. ZX Lidars are powerful tools in any wind measurement toolbox: in wind farm Development, Site Construction through to Site and Project Operations, and in other Weather Monitoring activities.

Operate in all climates, reduce wind measurement uncertainty and increase project and design value. Manage your wind resource risk and optimise your assets by employing the original and single most validated wind industry Lidar available.

Our measurement services team – ZX Measurement Services – provides Wind Data as a Service for a full turnkey Lidar, Sodar, Met Mast and ancillaries approach to project data.

And, in case of any confusion – we were formerly ZephIR Lidar!! Same team, just with some new great Lidars!

How it all began

This, combined with the emergence of the commercial telecomms industry resulted in the opportunity for a low-cost Lidar product to remotely sense wind characteristics via measurement of the Doppler shift of light emitted by the Lidar and scattered back from particles in the atmosphere such as dust, moisture and pollen.

Rapid growth in the wind industry combined with our innovative Continuous Wave Lidar technology triggered a chain of products and partnerships as outlined in this Product Guide.Our vision statement from the outset has been simply: a wind Lidar on every commercial wind project and integrated into every large wind turbine – a Big Hairy Audacious Goal that we all believe in, from the first employee of Zephir Ltd., Ian Locker – our Managing Director – through to each and every member of the ZX Lidars Family.

After our first successful decade we started out on a new adventure – to re-invest Zephir Ltd.’s (Z) 10+ years (X) of experience to completely re-imagine our Lidar system and make a Lidar ‘platform’. A platform that can be tailored to so very many applications and customer needs. All based on the core, proven and accepted Lidar technology that has featured since Day 1.

And so ZX Lidars was born and today represents what we do, and how we do it.
