Jeddah, Saudi Arabia New RTH for MESSIR-COMM

A NEW Regional Telecommunication Hub (RTH) will soon be using the MESSIR-COMM Message Switching System.

Jeddah will become the 7th RTH in the world to use
MESSIR-COMM along with Bracknell in the UK, Norkopping in Sweden, Cairo, Algiers, Dakar and Niamey.
MESSIR-COMM will connect Jeddah to several domestic airports and weather stations and to the telecommunication centres of Washington, Offenbach, Muscat in Oman, Cairo, Bangkok, Algiers, Kuwait, Barhein and Khartoum in Sudan. A total of about 60 telecommunication lines will be managed by the system.
MESSIR-COMM will also receive data from SADIS and dispatch this data to a MESSIR-VISION Forecaster Workstation for display and manipulation.
