COROBOR systèmes has just completed one of the company's largest projects in Greece with the installation of MESSIR systems at the Hellenic National Meteorological Service and at the New Athens International Airport - the airport of the Olympics 2004.
A MESSIR-AERO hot stand-by server dedicated to Pilot Met Briefing was installed at the airport in January 2001.
This system handles reception of data from SADIS, METEOSAT/SDUS, AWOS, as well as connections to the AFTN network and to the Hellenic National Meteorological Service.
A total of 6 MESSIR-AERO Met Briefing PCs were also installed at various locations within the airport and 3 MESSIR-VISION workstations were installed at the airport Met Office.
In addition to this MESSIR-AERO server, a MESSIR-AFTN Message Switching System with 12 AFTN, NOTAM and Flight Plan terminals was also installed at the NAIA airport in June 2000.
The NAI Airport is expected to provide the main transport gateway for the 2004 Olympic Games and MESSIR-AFTN will ensure the management of AFTN messages, NOTAMs, Flight Plans and meteorological data.
The second COROBOR project in Greece was completed in February 2001 with the supply of a MESSIR-COMM Meteorological Message Switching system and MESSIR-VISION workstations to the Hellenic National Meteorological Service in Athens.

MESSIR-COMM handles international connections to Germany, Italy, Cyprus and the ECMWF, and domestic connections to around 100 users. MESSIR-COMM is also connected to the NAI Airport via a DRML/HDSL link at 2 Mb/s over 40km; providing a state-of-the-art WAN between the HNMS and the NAIA.
