Zigna is the new name for what we have been developing as RainVision. The technology has grown beyond a single product, so it now has its own identity. And it all starts with one thing: rain.
When rain falls between two communication points, the water droplets weaken the signal travelling between them. The receiver detects this change in signal strength. The weaker the signal, the more rain may be along the path.
Equipment changes, interference, and even normal atmospheric conditions can affect it too. If we treat every signal drop as rain, we could report rainfall when there is none.
Our patented technology compares signal changes with trusted weather data to identify what is caused by rain and what isn’t. AI helps improve this process over time and opens the door to other uses beyond rainfall.
Every satellite terminal and telecom tower already in place can become a rainfall sensor. Together, they create a live picture of rainfall across wide areas, including places traditional weather radar cannot reach.
Every terminal and tower reports the rainfall measured along its own signal path.
A continuous map, refreshed every five minutes, including where radar never reached.
Rainfall at any coordinate, solved from the links around it. No instrument on the ground.
The same field run two hours forward, with a confidence value travelling alongside it.
Each new reading adds to the bigger picture.
Local governments, disaster responders and the people they serve need to see rain coming. Reliable rainfall intelligence should reach them first, especially where traditional weather infrastructure was never built.
Rain moves operations, assets, supply chains, agriculture and infrastructure. Radar networks are expensive to build and maintain. Zigna delivers rainfall intelligence as a service, over networks that already exist.
Delivered with a satellite operator, covering the country from its existing terminal network. Calibration against trusted observations is under way.
Our own signal hardware for client areas here, assembled from available components with the calibration software built around it. An alternative to buying a radar.
Zigna explores how existing communication signals can be used to understand changes in the physical world. We begin with rainfall measurement and expand into environmental intelligence, with movement sensing as a future research direction.
Detect rain and estimate its intensity and accumulation from changes in satellite signal strength.
How radio signals respond to moisture, cloud water and other atmospheric conditions.
How reflections and frequency shifts can reveal movement and changes in physical surroundings.
From network operators to national agencies and major cities, Zigna helps turn existing communication infrastructure into a source of rainfall intelligence. We can explore the potential coverage, implementation requirements, and opportunities in your territory.
