More than 14,264 seismic stations from 267 networks and 469 temporary deployments have data available through the IRIS DMC

291 Permanent, 625 PASSCAL, 170 SEIS-UK, 75 OBSIP 60 stations have real time telemetry 1,495 Stations in Central and S. America

1,997 stations telemetered in real time from 91 different networks

60 Stations come in real time to the IRIS DMC (not including TA, IM, etc)

Focus on solving data communication issues Station to data center Cellular modems Radio modems Data center to Internet Fiber installation Data tariffs Past efforts Central Asia SW Pacific Tsunami Task Group Can the REED effort help your networks Regional Exchange of Earthquake Data (REED)

The IRIS DMS is available to all seismologists at the same priority level All data are open There is no charge for any of IRIS services Only one piece of software has limited distribution Antelope only available to Full IRIS Members SAC available to almost all seismologists A Global Resource
