[AWIPS #JZE-105128]: AWIPS EDEX Feed

> AT&T maintains a meteorology operations center that seeks to include AWIPS

> accessed by our Windows version of CAVE is slow, most likely due to load.
> In order for us to use AWIPS for operational decision making, it would be

Hi Chris,

I do not know of any public EDEX servers other than our own. The server 
edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu is provisioned for use by education and research 
organizations, and is not supported for any forecast operations, or for 
businesses.   It sounds like what would work best for you is to install and run 
your own EDEX server to which you would point CAVE, then you would have full 
control of the data, and benefit from faster networking between server and 
client.  The AWIPS EDEX and CAVE packages released by Unidata are open source 
and public domain, so there is no restriction on their use by anyone, including 
the private sector, but just know that Unidata can not offer support for such 
use.
