All 1,500 units have included AireGuard™, Desert Aire’s remote monitoring tool that allows users to easily monitor the performance of the equipment on a cloud-based data storage server.  AireGuard™ continues to prove valuable for Desert Aire customers as they are able to provide superior support to their customers by viewing unit operation including a multitude of space condition variables and unit parameters.
