NIDS VENDORS

When the National Weather Service's new radar network was established, a long-term agreement was made with four commercial vendors (now 3) to distribute radar information:

DTN/Kavouras Incorporated UNISYS Weather Information Services WSI Corporation/Intellicast

These NEXRAD Information Dissemination Services (NIDS) providers access all Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radars and make data available to users. Current plans are for the agreements to expire September 30, 2000. After that time the NWS plans to make a basic suite of radar products directly available to our users.
