Description
OVSICORI is the institute in charge of earthquake and volcanoes monitoring in Costa Rica. As with other countries in Central America we have limited economical resources. Due to important government investment on 2010 we chose Antelope by BRTT as our main monitoring computational system. Antelope worked great for us at the beginning but in the following years we found out that most of the countries around us were using SeisComP, which in some way, isolated us from sharing data and knowledge with our neighbors. SeisComP was growing faster than Antelope and soon we started to find some procedures easier on SeisComP than on our system.
In 2018, CTBTO invited us to the Basic SeisComP Training which clarified our minds about this system. We could say that this course was the beginning of the transition for us. In 2020, COVID-19 did the last move for us, affecting our country's economy and so Antelope’s license didn't seem to be affordable in the near future. At the end of 2020 the transition to SeisComP at our institute started.
