About

WSI Corporation provides weather-driven solutions for professionals in aviation, media, energy markets, and government agencies, including marine weather services through The Weather Channel Marine.

Sister companies, The Weather Channel® and WSI Corporation® have joined forces to deliver a sophisticated weather data broadcasting service via satellite to professional and recreational mariners at sea. Named “The Weather Channel® Marine™, the new service will continuously broadcast marine-specific, real-time, graphical weather observation data and forecast information direct to vessels equipped with a special purpose marine antenna, receiver, and proprietary software. The Weather Channel Marine equipment is developed by WSI, and the equipment and service will be marketed through a network of authorized marine electronics dealers with the assistance of Radio-at-Sea™, a recognized expert in marine satellite communications, information and entertainment services. The graphical marine information offers WSI’s full color, animated NOWrad® weather radar, sea state conditions, storm tracking and, most importantly, coastal and offshore forecasts. Forecast precision is aided by marine data gathered from a proprietary network of marine buoys, as well as island and coastal-based aviation weather forecasts. The Weather Channel Marine uses the same WSI technology that today delivers WSI’s aviation weather to the cockpit - a system that has been tested over land and water, is fully certified by the FAA, and just won the prestigious R&D100 award as one of the most technologically significant products introduced in 2003.
