Vaisala signs a USD 19 million contract

Vaisala has signed a USD 19 million contract with the Ministry for Transport and
Aviation of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The contract includes four weather
radars on four islands, nine Automatic Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) for
airports and 16 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) as well as civil works and
installation services. Meteorological software and training will be delivered
together with the Finnish Meteorological Institute. In addition, the contract
includes a five years' service agreement. The deliveries will start in the
beginning of 2017 and are planned to be completed by the end of 2018.

Vaisala's weather radar is the most effective instrument to observe rainfall as
well as to monitor hurricanes and tropical storms. It helps to build reliable
early warning systems in order to alert the population of hurricanes, flooding
and storm surges. Vaisala AWOS helps airports to operate efficiently and
airlines to aviate safely under all weather circumstances.

"Over recent years, severe weather, hurricanes and tropical storms have become a
more frequent phenomenon in the Caribbean. Vaisala can with its versatile
experience support the Bahamas Meteorological Department in observing and
forecasting present and future weather conditions more timely and reliably. The
improved forecasting will help to minimize losses of lives and damages to
property during severe weather conditions in the Bahamas. This contract is a
proof of our leadership in AWOS systems and C-Band weather radars", says Jarkko
Sairanen, Executive Vice President of Vaisala Weather Business Area.
