Enterprise Electronics Corporation

Enterprise Electronics Corporation or EEC is an Alabama-based commercial weather radar system company, founded in 1971. EEC has designed and manufactured over 1,000 weather radar systems for over 90 countries. EEC offers S Band, C Band, and X Band options commercially. In 2013, EEC expanded its product line offering by acquiring the weather satellite ground station division from the Australia-based Environmental Systems & Services Pty Ltd company (ES&S).

History
Founded by a group of radar engineers in 1971, EEC made its public debut in 1972 with the WR-100-3 radar. One was installed at WKY TV (now KFOR) in Oklahoma. The WSR-100-5 was installed at the same station in 1974. In 1975, the production of the WSR-74 line of radars, mostly C-band, began.

It producedcavity magnetron and klystron commercial S and C-Band weather radars began. Also in 1974, EEC was selected by the US National Weather Service to deliver 160 WSR-74 radar systems to replace the older models across the country. Following this, EEC expanded its operations, becoming a commonly consulted private radar company for media radars. Today, EEC is the only commercial weather radar vendor in the US to offer a complete line of magnetron, klystron and solid-state transmitter weather radar systems.

Additionally, EEC's TeleSpace business division offers direct readout ground station systems, which support the full constellation of both Geostationary Orbit and Polar Orbit weather satellites. In 2016–2017, EEC's TeleSpace division delivered the first-ever commercial GOES-16 ground station (Capella-GR) systems into North, Central, and South America.
