01How it works
A station joins, then the work is shared.
One station runs the protocol from first contact to publishing; the graph beside it shows how this sector’s use cases share kit and products.
02Deployment scenarios
How the grid is deployed here.
From the sector research, each with the observatory template that serves it where one exists.
Sensors & instruments, ConnectivitySchool connectivity with a school observatory
Satellite or fixed wireless, school Wi-Fi, an open connectivity probe and an optional station.Hardware & power, Sensors & instrumentsDisplacement-site connectivity and sensing
Point-to-multipoint wireless, satellite backhaul, solar and water-point sensors with protection safeguards.Sensors & instruments, Field servicesAnticipatory-action hydromet nodes
Stations deployed through UN implementing entities of the systematic-observations financing pathway.03Proof
What buyers ask to see.
The evidence a procurement in this sector asks for, from the sector research. Each item is produced by the grid as a record, not written up afterwards.
- UN vendor registration
- Long-term agreement eligibility
- Humanitarian standards alignment
- Data protection
- Local capacity transfer
- Total cost of ownership

How the sector names the problem.
The terms buyers and programmes use, and open projects in the space, named as factual references only. Naming a project is not an endorsement or a relationship.
