1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Since August 2004, the SVY21 Geodetic reference frame has been the authoritative
reference frame in use Singapore for uses in positioning, tracking and monitoring
applications. SiReNT’s main purpose is for the realization of the SVY21 reference
frame. SiReNT is a nation-wide satellite positioning reference network developed to
support real-time high precision positioning applications. An initiative by Singapore
Land Authority (SLA), Singapore Satellite Reference Station Network (SiReNT)
provides precise GNSS (DGNSS) services through techniques including Real Time
Kinematics (RTK), Network-RTK, Differential GNSS (DGNSS) and post processing.

1.2 Scope of Tender

3 DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT SYSTEM

3.1 Current System

The Survey & Geomatics Division (SGD) of Singapore Land Authority (SLA) is
responsible for maintaining records of comprehensive and precise definition of all
land parcels (land lots) in Singapore. As a backbone of Singapore’s coordinated
cadastre (SVY21) reference frame, which was gazette on 2nd August 2004, the
SiReNT infrastructure provides a permanent GNSS Reference Station network that
offers Precise GNSS services in both real-time and Post-Processing mode. The
system supports the GNSS users in various positioning, navigation and monitoring
applications.

The current SiReNT infrastructure was migrated to Cloud in 2021 and started
operations in July that year. The Reference stations were refreshed in 2006.

The infrastructure consists of 8 permanent GNSS reference stations, six of which


are on mainland Singapore and two are on Singapore’s southern islands. Each
reference station consists of equipment that allows it to receive satellite signals
twenty-four hours a day.

The System provides these four major services on a monthly subscription model:
(a) Post Processing (PP) On-Demand
(b) Post Processing (PP) Archive
(c) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK)
(d) Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS)

Information on the four major services:

(a) Post Processing (PP) On-Demand


i. PP On-Demand enables users generate RINEX files from SiReNT
website.
ii. Users need to log-in CorpPass or SingPass to access PP On-
Demand.
iii. For high accuracy positioning applications such as geodetic survey,
Post-Processing On-Demand is suitable for establishing survey
control points as well as for monitoring.

(b) Post Processing (PP) Archive

i. For users who need archived RINEX data which are not available for
download from SiReNT website, where the required data can be
requested for.

TENDER REF NO.: PT21-27/7-9/27 RS/8


Part 2A REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

ii. Archived RINEX data is useful for various applications, one of which
is meteorological application which require trend analysis on data over
a long period of time.

(c) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK)

i. Using SiReNT RTK, field operators can determine real-time positions


up to centimetre-level using RTK-enabled GNSS receivers and a
connection to the internet.

ii. Users need to log-in using the given username and token via the
NTRIP (Network Transfer of RTCM over IP) protocol in GNSS
Receivers to access SiReNT RTK. We provide both Single-Base RTK
and Network RTK. Users are free to select the appropriate correction
data stream.

(d) Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS)

i. Similar to SiReNT RTK, SiReNT DGNSS allows field operators to


determine their sub-metre positions in real-time with the incoming
pseudo-range or code-based DGNSS correction messages via
GPRS.

ii. Users need to log-in using the given username and token via the
NTRIP (Network Transfer of RTCM over IP) protocol in GNSS
Receivers to access SiReNT RTK. We provide both Single-Base RTK
and Network RTK. Users are free to select the appropriate correction
data stream.

iii. DGNSS can be used for navigation and other applications that do not
need the precision of RTK.

iv. The SiReNT webpage provides information on how to subscribe to


SiReNT services and the contact number for customized requests.

The services mentioned in Paragraph 3.1.4 are offered as subscription and one
time upfront payment schemes in our business model. There are also free-to-use
services under special schemes, e.g. SiReNT Proof Of Concept Scheme (POCS),
SiReNT Promotion Scheme and SiReNT Trial Scheme.

SLA’s Survey & Geomatics Division (SGD) uses SiReNT RTK and DGNSS services
for our daily field work in a variety of applications. SGD also uses SiReNT post
processing data for processing of Horizontal Control Point Markers (HCP) setup and
submitted by Registered Surveyors (RS). SiReNT services are also used in various
precise GNSS positioning applications including survey and mapping, construction

automation, self-mobility platforms development and operations, fleet and asset


management, and others in both public and private industries.
The System host a public website at URL: “https://app.sla.gov.sg/sirent/”. Internet
users can visit the SiReNT website by typing the website address. The Contractor
shall study the website to understand the services provided.

Figure 3.1 Home page

The SiReNT servers are hosted in Government Commercial Cloud (GCC).

All SiReNT reference stations are configured with “IBSS/NTRIP Server” stream with
SSL enabled. On the server side, a NTRIP Caster module contains 8 mountpoints
that served as the data receiving end for reference stations. Each receivers are
sending real-time observables or RT27 format with an epoch interval of 1 Hz to
corresponding mountpoints.

GNSS modules are configured with a connection type of NTRIP client. These
modules are connected to mountpoints from the NTRIP Caster of reference
stations.

Under the GNSS modules, there are satellite tracking, skyplot, multipath and raw
data analysis processing. The raw data analysis is installed for all receiver
connections and RTO Single base for RTCM generator for each type of single base
service. The singe base services output are socket clients and connect to the NTRIP

TENDER REF NO.: PT21-27/7-9/27 RS/10


Part 2A REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Caster for public use. There are two storage modules configured as well to generate
the Rinex files and T02. The Rinex module is configured to log at 1 second epochs
and rolling over every 1hour/3600 seconds for each station. The T02 module which
is being used for PP On-Demand is also generating raw data with the same epoch
interval at every 1 second and generating observation file every hour.

SiReNT also uses a network processor module which is the central calculation unit
of Pivot server. This module is responsible for the creation of tropospheric and
ionospheric models of reference station network which contributes and generates
corrections to RTO Net modules used by rovers in the field. On the Pivot server,
there are 2 network processor modules configured (VRSNet_GNSS and
DGPSNet_GNSS). These modules are fed with data from the reference stations
with the help of synchroniser. This Sync_GNSSProc configuration uses the
satellites collected by reference stations, predicted orbit and differential code bias
which made available by ephemeris manager module.

The ephemeris module is separated from the main Pivot server, this module is
configure in one server and directly writing the data to the shared FSx service which
is being mapped to all SiReNT servers in GCC.

SiReNT website configuration and all services are residing in app servers. All the
modules of Pivot server is connected through the load balancer. The connection of
each modules are using unique port number including accounting, reference data
shop and sensor maps.
