Vaisala will exit certain Transportation products and field services

Vaisala has made the decision to reshape its Transportation business unit within Weather Business Area to simplify structure and improve profitability. Going forward, Transportation business unit will focus on product leadership, delivery capability and expansion of information services in order to drive growth, profitability and customer focus.

Transportation business unit will exit the field service business in all countries except the United Kingdom as Vaisala's field service offering is no longer competitive in the market due to increasing price pressure.  

Transportation business unit will also exit the United States Automated Weather Observing System (U.S. AWOS) business. The U.S. AWOS is based on unique technology designed solely for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulated small airport markets and it differs from Vaisala's common technology platform.
