Australian Regional GPS Network

The Australian Regional GPS Network (ARGN) consists of a network of permanent geodetic quality GPS receivers, on geologically stable marks, in Australia and its Territories, with eight stations within Australia known as the Australian Fiducial Network (AFN).

These sites provide the geodetic framework for the spatial data infrastructure in Australia and its territories. They also provide input for the measurement of earth processes, such as crustal dynamics and sea level rise. Data from the ARGN network also contributes to the International GPS Service.
