Guardian focuses on space weather, propagation, solar and geomagnetic activity, satellite visibility, and the signal environment. Sentinel focuses on earthquakes, volcanoes, tectonic context, satellites, grayline, and local weather\/alerts. Each product runs independently as its own single-file app, and many users run both side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need an internet connection?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Guardian runs locally from your machine.
