[Satellite Today 04-03-09] Vizada launched a new satellite-powered software package, SkyFile Weather, which aims to enable users to receive up-to-date and customized meteorological information regardless of a maritime or land vessel’s location, Vizada announced April 2.
    The forecasts provided with SkyFile Weather will be sourced directly from Météo France, an internationally-recognized meteorological center, rather than the Internet, providing access to reliable, accurate and timely information, Vizada said.
    SkyFile Weather integrates security zones designated by the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System, an internationally recognized set of procedures, equipment types, and communication protocols designed to increase safety.
