To address the Near-Real-Time (NRT) requirements of some Government of Canada (GC) departments, CCMEO retrieves data from the [https://colhub.copernicus.eu/ Copernicus Collaborative Hub] and provides a Canadian FTP relay with better download speeds for Canadian end users.

To address the Near-Real-Time (NRT) requirements of its users, CCMEO retrieves data from the [https://colhub.copernicus.eu/ Copernicus Collaborative Hub] and provides a Canadian FTP relay with better download speeds for Canadian end users.

CCMEO achieves this Service by using a lightweight Product Transfer System (PTS) to pull SENTINEL-1 products from the Collaborative hubs via the CANARIE research network from its counterparts (e.g. GEANT) in the EU.  It then stages the data on the EODMS Download Server with dependable download speeds for its users.

While this limited access has operationalized the use of SENTINEL data to key GC programs, broad use of SENTINEL-1,2 3,5p is being considered.
