From the BNCF, the AWIPS products will be rebroadcast via the NWS Satellite Broadcast Network (SBN) to NWS WFOs. The objective of the test is to validate the new direct circuit connections from the ESPC/GINI to the BNCF. During the test period, AWIPS users are requested to monitor the delivery and and display of AWIPS products on their workstations.
