Further to the announcement, Vincent Camier, Managing Director of Ammonit Measurement GmbH commented: For the past five years Ammonit has been following the industries adoption of remote sensing technologies. In particular we have been assessing the various lidar technologies to complement our products and services. We have also been requested by many of our clients to offer a lidar solution as part of a combined package of services. ZephIR offers clear technology and performance benefits that no other lidar system can provide. From fully financeable wind data sets for wind farm developers, through to absolute power curve measurements in-situ on turbines, ZephIR adds value throughout the entire wind energy lifecycle. By adding ZephIR to our existing product range, we can provide our customers with an enhanced measurement solution. We look forward to reaching out to our diverse client base over the coming weeks with our new status of ZephIR Trusted Service Provider, ultimately delivering their wind measurement needs across all types of wind energy sites.

About Zephir Ltd.
Celebrating 10 years of wind lidar excellence
In 2003 we released the first commercial wind lidar, ZephIR®, exploiting decades of research at UK government Research & Development establishment QinetiQ. Designed specifically for the wind industry ZephIR has paved the way for many of the remote sensing devices seen in the market today. Our original lidar technology continues to innovate with world firsts such as taking measurements from a wind turbine spinner and being the first to deploy an offshore wind lidar, both fixed and floating. ZephIR has also now amassed more than 7 million hours of operation across 750+ deployments globally spanning a decade of commercial experience. For wind measurements onshore, offshore and in turbine-mounted applications, ZephIR provides accurate and reliable finance-grade wind data.
Zephir Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fred. Olsen Ltd. – established in the UK in 1963 with business interests primarily focussed on renewable energy, including ZephIR.
