| Founded in 1985, Optical Scientific, Inc./Mobile Telesystems, Inc (Osi), (formally Scientific Technology, Inc.) believes that innovative ideas are needed to meet the complex measurement, data collection, and communications demands of the 21st century. For more than 15 years, Osi has served these needs by engaging in a continuous, rigorous research and development program. In fact, Osi's name has become synonymous with advanced optical instrumentation. Osi's sensors and systems are reliably serving customer's needs at airports, along highways, at railroad tracks, on remote ocean-going buoys, aluminum smelting plants and hundreds of other commercial and industrial sites.
Their no-moving-part, opto-electronic technology works unattended, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Osi's development of optical scintillation technology has led to unprecedented improvements in the identification and measurement of atmospheric parameters. At thousands of locations around the world, Osi sensors are optically monitoring precipitation, present weather, wind, turbulence, and visibility. These parameters are of crucial interest to the transportation and environmental monitoring industries. The technology has also advanced the ability to measure air flow for environmental applications. This measurement is relied on by many to meet compliance requirements.
They serve an international community of users on all seven continents. You will even find Osi products in such diverse locations as the South Pacific and Antarctica. Meeting the challenge of competing internationally has made Osi a stronger, more dynamic company.
