Case Study: SES improves satellite uptime and weather visibility with Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2

SES keeps satellites functional for over 10 years with Davis Instruments

SES, a world leader in satellite services, faced a significant challenge maintaining its satellite operations on Oahu's North Shore. The site was vulnerable to intense tropical weather, including heavy rain and high humidity, which caused severe signal attenuation and potential equipment damage. To better monitor these conditions, the customer used a Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 weather station.

Davis Instruments provided a robust on-site weather monitoring solution that delivered real-time, reliable data. This allowed SES's remote control group to instantly determine if signal issues were weather-related, preventing unnecessary emergency site visits. The solution proved so effective that other nearby satellite providers began using the same Davis Instruments weather data, and the station itself demonstrated exceptional durability by operating flawlessly in the harsh environment for over a decade.
