<name>GNSS Scintillation Receiver - GPStation6</name>
<description>
NovAtel’s (https://novatel.com/) GPStation-6 technology combines a rugged enclosure with an ultra-low phase noise OCXO and advanced OEM628 receiver, providing a modernized GNSS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor (GISTM) receiver. With the 120-channel multi-constellation, multi-frequency OEM628 measurement engine at its core, the GPStation-6 provides advanced GISTM algorithms for Ionospheric Scintillation Monitoring (ISM) and Total Electron Content (TEC) measurements for all tracked signals. Depending on the GPStation-6 model, ISM and TEC measurements are output for a combination of the following GNSS constellations and signal types:GPS L1/L2-P(Y)/L2C/L5, SBAS L1/L5, GLONASS L1/L2, Galileo E1/E5a/E5b/Alt-BOC and QZSS L1/L2/L5.
