Abstract:	Ionospheric scintillation is a natural phenomenon that affects trans-ionosphere radio signal propagation and impacts the accuracy and availability of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) PVT solutions. Since 2009, with the support from the US Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Office for Scientific Research, and Consortium of Ohio Universities on Navigation and Timekeeping (COUNT), we have been engaged in international collaborative efforts to establish multi-constellation multi-frequency GNSS data collection systems in high latitudes and equatorial areas to allow comprehensive studies of high latitude and equatorial ionospheric scintillation. This paper summarizes progress made on acquiring and processing data from these sites and highlights multi-frequency responses based on data collected at equatorial locations.
