Subject: New NOAA Weather Wire Service (NWWS) During 2014
NWS is continuing the upgrade of NWWS to disseminate weather
products to the public. A new NWWS will be commissioned during 2014. The new NWWS will operate concurrently with the present NWWS system until the NWWS system contract ends March 2014, at the earliest. For the latest news and information about this change, please consult the Weather Wire website at: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwws/newnwws.html The new system will allow C-band satellite users to continue to use outdoor antennas they have in place, which will not require re-pointing but will require a new satellite receiver, new Low Noise Block Converter (LNB), and new or modified weather data processing/display software. Internet (Open Interface) users will need the new or modified processing/display software. The current NWWS system, operated under contract with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), will continue to operate into 2014. CSC may or may not continue Weather Wire satellite and open- interface services after government contract termination. Updates will be posted on the NWWS website as it become available. For more information please contact:Gregory Zwicker, NWWS Program Manager
