FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kowloon, Hong Kong, January 19, 2021

Enterprise Electronics Corporation (EEC) Selected to Supply New Weather Radar to

Hong Kong Observatory!

KOWLOON, HONG KONG, JANUARY 19, 2021 – EEC, and our in-country partner

PTC International, are excited to announce our award of a new weather radar system

contract for the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO)! After many months of technical

reviews and negotiations, the HKO selected EEC to supply a new Defender SK850

(S-Band/Klystron) Dual-Polarization Doppler weather radar to replace the current

HKO radar high atop Tai Mo Shan, Hong Kong’s highest peak.

“The current HKO radar system on Tai Mo Shan peak is over 20 years old and utilizes

numerous legacy features and components,” notes Rich Stedronsky, EEC’s Director

of Strategic Business Development and Partnerships. “The new Defender SK850

system will help the HKO modernize their most vital remote sensing tool, allowing

them to provide improved forecasts and alerts for the region, especially during the

monsoon season.”

The new EEC Defender SK850 will reside in the same location as HKO’s current

radar. The existing system will simply be removed, and the new EEC radar installed

in its place. “This radar system is critical to our day-to-day operations and we require

the most advanced solution on the market today,” said Mr. YW Chan, Senior Science

Officer for the HKO. “We are excited about the new EEC system and cannot wait to

utilize all of the advanced tools and capabilities it will offer.”
