IDA Near Real Time System (NRTS):

developed by UCSD to support GSN communications handles continuous or segmented time series manages multiple, simultaneous data connections to

distinct locations provides format conversion tools (miniSEED, SAC,

CSS 3.0, CM6) clients based on toolkit (Antelope, Earthworm, VDL) autoDRM supports draft GSN telemetry formats and protocols

NRTS data servers:

Each station may serve data to many recipients With limited bandwidth, usually serves only one Hubs positioned for broadband access Hubs concentrate data from multiple stations
