March 2000
MESSIR systems are now operational at the Jordanian National Forecasting Centre following a
two-month installation by COROBOR engineers at the beginning of the year.
The Jordanian site is one of COROBOR's largest so far and represents another significant COROBOR achievement in Jordan.
This new project follows the installation of a MESSIR-AFTN Message Switching System at the Amman Marka Airport in May 1997.
It is the result of an open tender issued at the end of 1998 which led the Jordanian Meteorological Department to opt for the purchase of
the MESSIR-COMM GTS Message Switch and 11 MESSIR-VISION Forecaster Workstations.
The large enhancement of the forecasting capacity of Jordan is one of the most important parts of the project together with the upgrading
of telecommunications to European Standards.

FINLAND and Estonia have become two of the first European
countries to have their meteorological networks linked by the RMDCN network thanks to COROBOR's Automatic
GTS Message Switch MESSIR-COMM.
The installation of MESSIR-COMM at the Estonian Institute
of Meteorology and Hydrology in November 1999 comes only five months after a similar operation at the
Finnish Meteorological Institute (June 1999).
Thanks to MESSIR-COMM, both institutes can now benefit from the new Regional Meteorological Data Communication Network,
a network set to revolutionise meteorological telecommunications in Europe.
The RMDCN is a more reliable and flexible way of conveying meteorological data and products which, combined with an AMSS as
reliable as MESSIR-COMM, offers the best solution in terms of meteorological telecommunications.
The Estonian Institute of Meteorology has also been equipped with a MESSIR-VISION
workstation and has been connected to a MESSIR-SADIS system previously installed at the Talinn Airport.
MESSIR-COMM will also handle the connection of Estonia to St Petersburg. |
