This presentation by Mark Caissy from Natural Resources Canada at the International GNSS Service Workshop in Miami on June 4th, 2008, outlines the vision, purpose, and status of the real-time pilot project. It discusses the working groups, call for participation, objectives, and current network status. The goal is to establish a global network for real-time GNSS tracking and exchange of products and data among IGS members.

Real-time Pilot Project Overview and StatusMark Caissy –Natural Resources Canadapresented at theInternational GNSS Service WorkshopMiami, June 4th 2008
Outline • What is a pilot project • Let’s look back • Where are we today • Call for Participation • Status
The Vision • IGS data and products available in real-time via IP communication links (open internet) • Global consistency of IGS rt-products • A multi-disciplinary community active and engaged
A Pilot Project – What is It? • Working groups work on topics of interest to the IGS • charter and terms of reference • Pilot Projects • leverage the outputs from WG activities • provide an opportunity to further refine these outputs towards developing new IGS service offerings • first major step is to complete and release a call for participation
Towards Real-time Workshop • RTWG Position Paper • The goal is to have in place a reliable, robust and manageable system of data and products exchange coming from a global network of multidisciplinary real-time tracking stations. • The objective of this session is to lay down the foundation needed to facilitate a free flowing exchange of real-time data and products among IGS members.

CFP- Key Objectives • Manage and maintain a global IGS real-time GNSS tracking network • Enhance and improve selected IGS products • Generate real-time products • Investigate standards and formats for real-time data collection, data dissemination and delivery of derived products • Monitor the integrity of IGU predicted orbits and GNSS status
Call for Participation • Released in June 2007 • 32 proposals received – all were accepted • All activities are represented • Tracking stations • Network management • Data centers • RT-Analysis Coordinator • RT-ACs and RT-ACCs • Users
Status • Official start of the pilot project occurred in April 2008 • Existing Activity • RTACC • Data exchange and product exchange formats • Website needs to be updated • GDC’s will become engaged • Considering common look and feel for RTIGS/NTRIP data exchange interfaces
Recommendations • IGS – become active with RTCM SC 104 • Station Operators
