AWIPS will be grabbing the data from "the cloud", pulling the data source from centralized servers. Plus, data will be "pushed" automatically for critical things like watches and warnings. At least that's how I understood it from a while ago when it was explained to me. As for external users like us, educational institutions and private companies...how they're going to get the data remains to be determined, which is frustrating. It's going to be an interesting ride, so buckle up!

Gilbert, thanks so much for the news that NOAAPort is going away. I didn't know. Now I have to change my britches. If AWIPS is going to get its data from "on-line sources", whatever that means, will those sources be open to the public? And if so, what kind of internet pipe will be required to handle the flow? 500Mb? 1Gb? Are there any white papers out there or even informal discussions addressing this topic?!

I wanted to bring up something that we'll have to keep an eye on. As many of you know, NOAAport is scheduled to go bye-bye in a few years as AWIPS pulls it's data from online sources in the not-too-distant future, instead of NOAAport. But it could happen even sooner than that. The cellular/wireless industry is pushing the FCC hard to get rid of the 3.8-4.4 ghZ band that television networks, NOAAport and others use...to repurpose for 5G and 6G cellular use. For it's part, the television industry is rejecting it, saying that they don't have anywhere else to go; fiber is not as reliable for delivering video and audio on a 24/7/365 environment where the broadcast simply must get through. I agree with that point. But the FCC wants them, and NOAAport, and everything else in those frequencies to switch to fiber, possibly as early as next year. The question is, what will replace NOAAport? That remains a mystery. https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/airwaves-battle-brews-over-upper-c-band-at-fcc _________________________________________________________ NOTE: All exchanges posted to NSF Unidata maintained email lists are made publicly available through the web.
