We need to make a quick equipment change tomorrow, Thursday 7/22/2021 between 12:30am and 1:30pm.  Because this changes requires a reset of our internet connection the network will be down for 5-7 minutes. I apologize for the inconvenience and tried to schedule this off hours but the upgrade is beyond my IT expertise and that was the only window I could get to have our fiber provider onsite.

As most of you know AZGPS has 2 planned outages a year Jan 1st, and July 4th for planned maintenance.  This July 4th we had several users that needed the network and it pushed our updates into the late hours of the 5th.  In any case the network is fully restored, all single base and network solutions are back online and available. We did not change Epoch dates or datums but WE DID UPDATE THE BROADCAST COORDINATES OF SOME STATIONS! Please make sure field crews are checking into existing control on ongoing projects. I will be working on a full report today along with a new Master Coordinate file and should be able to get the maps updated by the end of the week.  I apologize for the late notice.

It's that time of year again for our scheduled maintenance.  On 1/1/2021 we will be preforming our yearly maintenance and coordinate verification/adjustment.  If you need access on 1/1/2021 please contact me asap for backup instructions as the network will be unavailable.

​COVID-19 - RESCHEDULE OF CONFERNECEAPLS-CLSA-NALS Conference Attendees, Exhibitors, & Speakers:
Out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of the health and well-being of all attendees, the APLS-CLSA-NALS Conference Committee has made the difficult decision to reschedule the conference.

We are working with the Luxor Hotel and our other service providers to determine an available date this fall when the COVID-19 outbreak will likely be over.  The Conference Committee would like to thank the Luxor Hotel, Alliance Expo, Boulder Creek Golf Course, and Gold Coast Bowling Alley for their flexibility and assistance during this unprecedented situation.
Upon selection of the new date, which we anticipate will occur next week, we will provide additional information.  The Conference Committee would like to thank the attendees, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, and student volunteers for your patience as we work through the logistics of this reschedule.
