... Frequently, a group of researchers or a government agency develops plans to install a permanent GPS reference station in a given location, not knowing that a station is already operating a short distance away that could meet their requirements with only minor modifications Although some scientific researchers may require autonomous control of a GPS reference station and its ancillary equipment, many users only need to know how to obtain data In a timely manner, and if necessary, how to request a configuration change, such as a higher sampling rate, from the operators of existing GPS networks. However, this requires sufficient knowledge of network operations on the part of users to prevent unreasonable requests from interfering with the primary function of a network or reference station.
