Allyson Turnbull, EEC President, gives Congressman Bobby Bright a tour of EEC’s world renowned weather radar product line. EEC’s mission is to provide next generation weather products to a diversified customer base that will enable clients to anticipate severe weather earlier.

The Governor's Trade Excellence Award was established in 2005 to recognize Alabama companies for excelling in global competition. The objectives of this award include identifying Alabama's successful exporters, promoting exporters as role models to the Alabama business community, and increasing awareness of the impact of exporting on Alabama's economy.

Allyson Turnbull, President, Enterprise Electronics Corporation accepted the award from Alabama Governor Bob Riley in a ceremony held at the Alabama State Capitol on March 11, 2010.

Enterprise Electronics Corporation conducted factory training for seven (7) personnel from Tanzania. Tanzania purchased a DWSR-8501S SIDPOL Doppler weather radar system.

Roundtable discussions were held during the recent AMS conference in Atlanta, GA. The Weather Channel, EEC’s sister company, organized the event at its headquarters and broadcast facility in the northern Atlanta metro area. The talks focused on global climate change and the increasing importance of NOAA, NWS and The Weather Channel Companies (TWCC) conveying clear, concise and reliable weather information and forecasts to the public.

EEC is a sustaining member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The AMS promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of professional applications.

EEC is a proud member of the Association of Hydro-Meteorological Equipment Industry (HMEI). All HMEI members share the desire to maximize opportunities for their industry as a whole and show commitment to increasing both the world's knowledge of the Hydro-Meteo industry and the quality of products produced for the industry.

Enterprise Electronics Corporation recently conducted factory training for twenty-four (24) personnel from the Nigeria Meteorological Service. Nigeria selected EEC to produce six (6) DWSR-8501S Doppler weather radar systems to be installed in various locations in their country. In recent years, the country has experienced a number of tragic aviation accidents resulting in hundreds of lives lost. The new network of EEC radars will provide real-time access to critical weather information that is expected to make air travel throughout the country much safer.

Enterprise Electronics Corporation conducted factory training for twenty-five (25) personnel from Indonesia. Indonesia purchased three (3) DWSR-2501C Doppler weather radar systems to be installed at Medan, Balikpapan and Jayapura, Indonesia.

Enterprise Electronics Corporation was selected by the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise, Alabama for this year’s recipient of the prestigious Daniel Pratt Industry Award.

Enterprise, AL, April 8, 2009 – Over the past twenty years Nigeria has suffered through a number of commercial airline crashes resulting in hundreds of lives lost. The most recent crash occurred in December of 2005 killing all 111 people on board the passenger airliner. Nigerian officials are hopeful that with the new radar technology that they are acquiring from EEC, these types of accidents will be a thing of the past. “We have had some very bad air traffic accidents, in the past years and to make our airspace safer, our government has entered into this contract with EEC. We believe that if we have real-time forecasts some of these accidents can be avoided,” said Nigerian Aviation Minister, Honorable Babatunde Omotoba.

EEC will manufacture 6 new radar systems for Nigeria which will be installed over the next 12- months at various locations around the country. This new radar network will provide a complete picture of Nigeria’s real-time weather conditions to a number of government agencies that rely on weather information to keep the public safe. EEC’s Vice President of Marketing, Chris Goode believes the network will have an immediate and positive impact. “This is going to provide Nigeria with cutting-edge weather radar technology. The network will provide stability and reliability that they just don’t currently have. It will equip airlines and pilots with the data they need to make informed decisions about the weather and its impact on flight operations.” he said

EEC won the contract after a very competitive bid and procurement process. Minister Omotoba said choosing EEC to upgrade his country’s weather radar system was not only easy, but also the right choice. “EEC is one of the leading companies that build weather radar systems in the world. They have the track record and the history,” said Omotoba.

Building on a strategic alliance formed in early 2007, this latest agreement between the University of Oklahoma (OU) and Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC) will initiate construction of a new, 1MW C-band, high-resolution, dual polarization radar on OU's campus in Norman, OK.

The new radar which is expected to be operational by late 2008 will serve as a research and development testbed for the Atmospheric Radar Research Center, an interdisciplinary university center engaged in collaborative research to define the next generation of weather radar sensors. The center offers an exceptional radar education for OU students based on a foundation of combining meteorology and engineering expertise and training from OU's colleges of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, and Engineering. With the acquisition of the new radar, students and researchers will be able to perform a variety of activities, such as testing new and enhanced algorithms and developing unique hardware designs.

"This newly announced radar project is yet another example of EEC and OU taking full advantage of complimentary strengths in both theoretical and practical knowledge bases to pursue new technologies to improve Doppler weather radar and associated systems here in the U.S and around the world," said Allyson Turnbull, EEC President.
