2. 2 Legacy NWWS

3. NWWS Legacy End-user System Configuration 3

4. New NWWS Components NWWS-Sat: Satellite broadcast via AWIPS SBN to end users. End User Client (EUC): EUC software to reside on satellite users’ systems. Functions are: message collection, message archiving, message visualization, and product filtering. Open Interface (OI): Data “push” via internet. Low-cost option for users without stringent delivery requirements. Being developed using existing NWS-Chat capability, and integrated within NWS Information Dissemination System (NIDS). National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems (NLETS): New software to handle message collection, message transformation based on user profile configurations, and dissemination to NLETS center to support 34 state entities, who redistribute to other state/local emergency managers End User Satellite Terminal (EUST): Contract with DRS Technical Services, Inc. 4

7. NWWS Data Product Comparisons Calypso vs. DVB-S2 Receiver (Novra S-300 or similar) 7 Calypso (current)DVB-S2 Receiver (new) RS232 Data OutputEthernet 10/100 Base T Data Output Product filtering included within receiver. No product filtering within the receiver - Filtering needs to be provided by the Government-furnished EUC application or by the end user-developed external application Data product format is WMO message.Data product format is WMO message wrapped in NOAAPort Transport layer protocol
