OKC Micronet - Current StatusOKC Micronet - Current Status Network of 40 stations (4 Mesonet Sites, 36
Traffic Signal Sites. 1-minute Data Collection – Real-time and
archive quality assurance (QA). 5 years of effort to secure funding, 2 years of
design and testing. True collaboration with Oklahoma City. All sites are deployed and the network is
operating in a test mode prior to official, public commissioning in the upcoming months.

OKC Micronet – Lessons OKC Micronet – Lessons LearnedLearned
Technology and Infrastructure are very different from rural areas (power, communications, station siting).
K.I.S.S. – Standardize as much as possible. Political support is important, but not as
critical as one might think. A plan for data products is very important –
needs to be relevant to those supporting the efforts (especially city departments).

General Network ThoughtsGeneral Network Thoughts It is better to design and easier to implement a
network that is simple/basic/robust than one that involves many complicated facets/components.
Quality Assurance (QA) is better than Quality Control (QC).
Sensors and hardware are relatively inexpensive compared to the long-term needs of operating a permanent, real-time network – long term support, calibration, and maintenance are critical to network survival and data quality.
A plan for data products is very important – needs to be relevant to those supporting the efforts.
