Modernizing Legacy Equipment

  • Permitting – no longer just a handshake with landowner
  • Typically digital stations require larger footprint
  • Telemetry
  • Long distance radio links and phone lines
  • Limited success so far with digital VHF radios (haven’t tested 25kHz

bandwidth yet)

  • Primarily using 900MHz ISM radios and cellular
  • Improved data quality (latency instead of noise)
  • Someone always has their favorite station
  • “Upgrade” just means we are using the same location, usually

requires all new infrastructure

NCSN Station Count

  • Current analog stations: 174
  • Analog stations on a list to be upgraded: 69
  • Analog stations on a list to be removed: 30
  • 75 Analog stations we may or may not keep,

not needed for EEW

  • Currently have ~180 digital stations
