Testing real-time GNSS data streams for supplying the GOP Data Center

We have setup the clients for archiving the real-time streams into the standard RINEX file format. The aim was to support our GOP data center with hourly RINEX files available with latency of a few seconds. The BKG Ntrip Client (BNC) was used to read the RTCM raw messages and RTIGS data via NTRIP transport protocol and to save them directly into the RINEX files. Because this software is provided as an open source, we could modify it to store even other formats for possible later conversion into the RINEX. The software was also completed for an additional messages, which could help us to monitor the source of transfer problems. The RTIGS-Archiver was used to read the RTIGS streams and to store them into the RINEX files.
