ESS recently completed the installation of a Telesto COMS-1 groundstation from EEC’s Telespace division at the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) in Laos. This system gives the Laos DMH the ability to acquire, process and visualize direct broadcast geostationary satellite data from the Korean Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite, (COMS-1). The Telesto system allows for real-time access to COMS-1 data, supporting the improved early detection of and responses to severe weather and climate events in Laos.
