Abstract
The EUREF key infrastructures are the EUREF Permanent GNSS Network (EPN) and the Unified European Levelling Network (UELN). The EPN runs almost 250 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations in a well organized environment and serves as the backbone of the realization of and access to the European Terrestrial Reference System (ETRS89) and as contribution to the densification of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF2008). The upcoming European navigation system Galileo will be a big challenge for the EPN in sense of upgrading the station network.
Almost half of the EPN stations are capable of streaming their data in real-time. To strengthen the robustness of the real-time data and product distribution two additional Ntrip broadcasters were set up at different premises in Europe.
The EVRS and the ETRS89 have been adopted by the European Community as coordinate reference systems in INSPIRE for environmental policies, or policies and activities that have an impact on the environment.
