Honeywell's nationwide sales organization will sell integrated AirWatch weather systems at the highest levels to school districts, complimenting AWS' already strong educational sales effort.
"The alliance elevates the WeatherNet concept to a new level. For our exclusive broadcast partners, it means significant added value for their WeatherNet programs. Network growth resulting from Honeywell sales efforts will allow our partners to feature local conditions from more communities and neighborhoods, solidifying their market position as THE source for live, local weather." comments Bob Marshall, AWS President, "Working with such a highly regarded company as Honeywell is not only rewarding, but testimony to the quality of AWS' staff, products, and services, and our reputation in the educational community."
