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.

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, 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.

About EEC
Enterprise Electronics Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of WSI, is recognized as the world leader in the meteorological radar field. Since its inception in 1971, the company has designed, manufactured and installed more than 900 radar systems worldwide. EEC developed the world's first commercial Doppler weather radar system in 1981. The corporation's range of radar systems is the product of years of experience, superior engineering and a top-ranked quality control process. EEC's 53,000-square-foot facility is located in Enterprise, Ala.

EEC continues to show support for the American Meterological Society as a premier sponsor for the 33rd International Conference of Radar Meteorology, Cairns, Australia, August 6-10, 2007.

Enterprise, AL, March 1, 2007 - The deadliest tornado was also the first. A tornado warning was issued at 1847 UTC (12:47 PM CST) for Coffee County including the City of Enterprise, AL. A tornado rated EF4 with wind speeds 166–200 mph touched down in Enterprise, AL, at around 1905 UTC (1:05 PM CST).

Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC®) and Technical University of Crete (TUC) have formed a strategic alliance to advance the general body of meteorological knowledge through discovery and creation of new technologies. The alliance takes full advantage of complementary strengths in both theoretical and practical knowledge bases and will pursue new knowledge to improve Doppler weather radar and associated systems. The initial cooperative efforts will concentrate on field testing and validation of C-Band weather radar data obtained from the U.S. Navy radar at Souda Bay, Crete (manufactured by EEC ) and assess the effect of any new developments, upgrades to the signal processing, and the available weather detection algorithms.

Enterprise Electronics Corporation, the world’s leader in Doppler radar technology, has developed a breakthrough frequency agile receiver / processor upgrade that will provide up to 16 times clutter rejection for our worldwide users of current EEC radar systems.

This newly innovated patented application was developed and tested by Enterprise Electronics Corporation. The new technology will provide previously unachievable performance increases in newer or older model radar systems. Traditionally, radar sites have been plagued with clutter issues and the dreaded “cone of silence”. But now, those problems can be eliminated and data can be kept clear and precise for peak performance. This new proprietary processing algorithm offers unmatched performance with any EEC signal processor. Whether your EEC system has the older RVP-5, the newer ESP-7 or our latest digital receiver, the EDRP-9, you will see immediate clutter rejection improvement of up to 16 times normal clutter filtering in any EEC magnetron-based radar system.
