2019 launched GK-2A transmits the
number of weather and ocean information via UHRIT(X-Band),
HRIT(L-Band), and LRIT(L-Band).
Korea Meteorological Administration especially proposed the
marine weather broadcast service(LRIT) satellite(GK-2A) for
maritime safety and disaster prevention. SOLETOP designed and
manufactured the WeatherSAT" to meet the need for these
critical applications in the region.
This system is the first of its kind to take advantage of
unique GK-2A satellite data products for
the maritime community.
It is designed to be simple to install and use by deploying Wi-Fi
technology, smartphone, and its apps.
The update can be easily implemented through the existing app
store(Android and IOS). Satellite television signals can also
be received and merged on display upon availability.Â
WeatherSAT operates 7/24 hours a day, 365 days a year(every 10
minutes)Â continuously providing critical weather
and oceanographic information.Â
This system can be a great alternative to replacing outdated
WeatherFax technology and more.
