Welcome to the SADIS 2G service. This service ensures that SADIS remains current with advances in satellite technology and user expectations. Engineered around the internet protocol (IP), SADIS 2G is designed to distribute essential WAFS and global OPMET data to your desktop — fast.

Essential features

  • SADIS 2G uses modern industry standard data formats and protocols, including the internet protocol (IP)*
  • SADIS 2G receivers are off-the-shelf units, available from a number of suppliers
