MESSIR Solution for the 2004 OLYMPICS Airport New Athens International Airport - GREECE

COROBOR systèmes is currently completing 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 (to be inaugurated in March 2001).
The first project started in June with the installation of a MESSIR-AFTN Message Switching System with 12 AFTN, NOTAM and Flight Plan terminals at the New Athens International Airport.
A MESSIR-AERO hot stand-by server dedicated to Pilot Met Briefing was already 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.
The NAI Airport is expected to provide the main transport gateway for the 2004 Olympic Games and MESSIR-AFTN will ensure the perfect handling 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.
