About the Comet Cloud Service (CCS) Modem  

The Met One Instruments, Inc. Comet Cloud Service (CCS) modem provides real time remote 
connectivity to a range of Met One particulate and weather sensors.  The CCS package includes 
the cellular modem hardware, a personalized webpage dashboard, and 1 year of free cellular and 
cloud website data hosting services. 

The CCS web dashboard gives current measurement values graphically and in tabular form; the 
private link can be shared with other authorized users allowing easy data sharing across an 
organization.  Data is stored in the cloud for 2+ years, and can be downloaded to a computer or 
other device at any time. 

The CCS modem uses Met One’s standard communication protocol to identify and setup any 
connected compatible device.  Dual quick-connect connectors are included and allow up to 2 
sensors devices, such as an NPM Sensor particulate monitor and an AIO 2 weather sensor, to 
share one common modem and website.  Alternatively a single device with a datalogger such as 
the Automet 580 or E-BAM particulate monitor can be connected.
