IGS RTS Applications Innovative support for public benefit applications Enables real time precise point positioning (PPP) at global scales for scientific and hazard detection applications, weather and space weather forecast, multi constellation performance monitoring Rapidly detecting, locating, and characterizing hazardous events such as earthquakes and tsunamis Contributing to GGOS Theme 2 “Natural Hazards” APF 14 14

IGS RTS Users 80 user registrations by April 8, from 38 countries 173 user registrations by June 6, from 41 countries By Organization Type: Engineering Services/Consulting 53 Academic 45 GNSS Equipment/Software 39 Government (Geodetic/Mapping) 15 Government (Geological/Geophysics) 4 Telecommunications 5 Positioning Services 2 http://igs.org

Summary Remarks RTS is now officially launched providing open access through a registration process rts.igs.org The RTS is designed to be reliable because of the built in redundancy RTS products are accurate as quality assurance indicators show The RTS is targeting public good applications including the GGOS natural hazards theme Demonstrated interest since launch is very encouraging
