The Interreg IV Italia-Austria "SeismoSAT" project: connecting seismic data centers via satellite

Warsaw (Poland)

Since 2002 OGS in Italy, ZAMG in Austria, and ARSO in Slovenia are exchanging seismic data in real time. At the moment the data exchange between the seismic data centres relies on internet: this however is not optimal for civil protection purposes, since internet reliability is poor. For this reason in 2012 the Protezione Civile di Bolzano in Italy joined OGS, ZAMG and ARSO in the Interreg IV Italia-Austria “SeismoSAT” Project aimed in connecting the seismic data centres in real time via satellite. The general schema of the project, including data bandwidth estimates and the data links architecture will be illustrated.
