Enterprise Electronics Corporation, located in Enterprise, Alabama, has been in business since 1971 and specializes in radar and satellite solutions for companies worldwide. The company has recently partnered with VAKA Action 8 and Climavision to develop a new Lifesaver radar system, known as the Climavision radar. This system offers ten times the resolution of existing radars and fills a gap in West Alabama that lacks sufficient coverage from government radars.
Tara Leigh Goode, vice president of strategic partnerships and radar operations at Climavision, emphasized the importance of combining weather service data with hyper-local technology to provide a comprehensive view. The new radar system will become a permanent part of weather forecasts moving forward. It was discovered by Action 8 Chief Meteorologist Shane Butler on Monday and will provide an initial look at approaching storms in regions like Selma and Montgomery.
Climbers and authorities sought an appropriate solution after recognizing the importance of better radar coverage in the region. This new radar system will help deliver timely weather updates and improve severe weather coverage to protect lives. Action 8 aims to improve its coverage in the coming weeks to ensure that residents receive accurate and timely weather information.
