New WSRN Visitor Information

Welcome to the New WSRN - Secondary Site
The website for the WSRN is www.wsrn3.org - and www.wsrn.org is the redundant website, in case you cannot access one or the other. If you are visiting the www.wsrn3.org or www.wsrn.org websites for the first time, please take the time to read all of the infornmation below before proceeding. If you are just here as a guest, or wanting to download the freely available static files (Rinex et al) then proceed to the first section below about how to log in as a guest

How to Log-in as a Guest User
Guest user access is available for general WSRN information and static file downloads such as Rinex, through the Reference Data Shop by logging in as a guest user. From the login link, enter 'guest' for Organization, enter 'guest' for User Name, and enter 'guest' for Password, all lowercase. Follow the instructions for Reference Data Shop Orders carefully, you can place orders, logout and come back later to download them by logging in as a guest, first noting the time and number of your order placement. Do not choose the email option in the Data Shop, it will not email you the files; wait for the order to complete, or come back later to download. Real-time correction services of the WSRN are restricted to registered partners and subscribers. If you wish to access real-time services follow the 'Join the WSRN' link on the left side of the page

How to Log-in to this website as a Registered User
Current registered users (e.g. Partners and Subscribers) will be able to log in to this website with the username and password they have for real-time access (i.e your NTRIP credentials). But for this web site you will need to enter an organization name (e.g., 'SUBS' for subscribers, and'PARTNERS' for partners. The current two redndant casters for real-time services (the full IP is emailed to registered users) looks like this: XXX.XXX.XXX.108 and the current reference framework is NAD83-2011 Epoch 2010.00) and the other caster with an I.P. that looks like this: XXX.XXX.XXX.121 (the full IP is emailed to rewgistered users) is also on the same reference framework.

How to Log-in to casters for real-time corrections as a Registered User
Current registered users (e.g. Partners and Subscribers) will be able to log in to both casters for real-time corrections(i.e. for thier field rovers). One current caster for real-time services(the full IP and port is emailed to registered users) looks like this: XXX.XXX.XXX.108 and the current reference framework is NAD83-2011 Epoch 2010.00) and the other caster with an I.P. that looks like this: XXX.XXX.XXX.121 (the full IP and port is emailed to rewgistered users) is also on the same reference framework. Field users can choose from the caster which has been nicknamed '108', and if they have any difficulties can choose the other caster nicknamed '121'.

How has the WSRN Changed? And Why?

Servers and Software Upgrade. The WSRN has been in operation since November of 2002, many of the original servers were over a decade old. To take advantage of newer VM server technology, enterprise database capabilities, and improved processing capabilites, new servers were purchased and implemented by Seattle Public Utilities as dedicated primary servers for the WSRN in 2011, and a new array of servers added and implemented as a secondary service in 2016, then again i n 2022. Our core software has undergone several major upgrades, essentially to new platfroms. The new look for the website only scratches the surface of the potential of these new platforms. Now that the WSRN has gone from the expansion phase to statewide coverage completed in 2009, operations will be able to concentrate on enabling many of the new features and improvements that these new servers and platform can offer.

Multi-Constellation Upgrades. Over the past few years, the WSRN stations have been upgraded to full multi-constellation capable receivers. And we've already begun the enxt cycle of station ugrades to support even more additonal signals. With the exception of a few PBO stations that are GPS-only, all are now GPS, Glonass, Galileo, and Beidou capable.

Subnets. The WSRN had originally been divided into 5 subnets: Eastern, Southeastern, Southwestern, Puget, and Northwest. These subnets divide the state into functional areas with specific tectonic and atmospheric characteristics for optimal management and to yield more consistent results. A new sixth subnet has been added to cover the coastal region.

The six WSRN subnets are now prefixed PRSN (Puget), EWA (Eastern), SEWA (Southeastern), SWWA (Southwestern), NWWA (Northwest), and the new PACWA (Coast). The prefixes are used in the respective mounpoints for network correction styles of each subnet, for example PRSNVRSCMR is the CMR+ mountpoint for the Puget subnet, and SWWAVRSRTCM3 is the RTCM3 mountpoint for the SW subnet. EWAVRS_MSM is the TCM3.2-MSM (multi-constellation) mountpoint for NE WA. There is a mounbtpoint naming convnetion guide linked on the menu to the lower left of this page.
