The Säntis Tower is a 124-meter tall tower sitting on the top of the 2502-m tall Mount Säntis located in the Appenzell region in the northeast of Switzerland. The structure serves mainly as a telecommunications tower and as a weather station. The Säntis station has been instrumented using advanced and modern equipment including remote monitoring and control capabilities for an accurate measurement of lightning current parameters.
Including Software & Measuring Equipment.
