NETWORK & DATA > DATA ACCESS > REAL-TIME

From 2002 to 2007, the EUREF-IP Pilot Project stimulated and developed the necessary tools for EPN stations to make available their data in real-time. Today, the real-time data flow has become an integral part of the routine EPN data flow : 116 EPN stations are using the Ntrip software to stream their GNSS data through the internet. These real-time data, usually in RTCM format, are uploaded from the EPN stations to broadcasters from where they are distributed using the principle of internet radio.

Below you can find details on the EPN stations providing GNSS data through the Internet following an open data policy. For more details on the EPN real-time activities, please consult the White Paper on Real-Time GNSS in Routine EPN Operations.

Participating GNSS Stations

All EPN stations streaming real-time data should follow guidelines specified in Guidelines for EPN Stations and Operational Centres. Depending on the station, the data are made available in different RTCM formats. Operation details for each station are available from here.
Stations wishing to join the EUREF-IP network should apply to become an EPN station, follow the Procedure for Becoming an EPN Station and register through http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/registerprovider.

Users

To receive the EPN real-time GNSS data streams, free Ntrip client software (available for several platforms) can be downloaded from here. After completion of the user registration the authorization (user-ID and password) will be provided by the institution which operates the regional EPN (or EUREF-IP) Broadcaster.

Products

Currently EPN real-time data streams are widely used for real-time satellite orbit & clock corrections. See here for more details about these products.
