Every station we supply is built from generic classes of parts, each offered by provider tier with an indicative price band and lead time. Start from a kit, change it in the Station Builder and send it for a quote. [Open the Station Builder](https://observatory.global/studio/builder/) [Request a hardware quote](https://observatory.global/contact/hardware-quote/) **Kits**: 10 **Parts**: 115 **Families**: 9 **Provider tiers**: 6 **01** Kits ## Start from a station that already works. Each kit is a complete, checked configuration: structure, enclosure, power, compute, radios, sensors, cabling and the services to install it. Open one in the Station Builder to see it assembled in 3D and to change any part. weather-station ### Weather station (WMO-class) A 10 m guyed mast with wind, temperature, humidity, rain, radiation and pressure, solar powered, reporting over LTE.

Parts · 19 Families · 7 Lead time, days · 1–70 [Open in the Station Builder](https://observatory.global/studio/builder/) **02** Parts ## Every part, by family. Search the parts catalogue by family, price band and lead time. Parts are classes, not products: no manufacturer is named until the registry approves it. 30 of 115 **03** Provider tiers ## The same part, from different providers. Most parts are offered at more than one tier. A tier sets the warranty, support and lead time; the class of the part stays the same. tier1-rugged ### Tier-1 OEM, rugged A leading manufacturer with an outdoor or industrial rating and global support. Parts · 100 tier1-industrial ### Tier-1 OEM, industrial A leading industrial-grade manufacturer for rack, cabinet and shelter use. Parts · 9 value-oem ### Value OEM A lower-cost manufacturer: same class, shorter warranty and thinner support. Parts · 76 nexus-certified ### NXS Observatory certified Kitted, burned in and tested by Nexus Observatory Inc. against the station qualification, with one support contact. Parts · 110 nexus-field ### NXS Observatory field team Our own engineers and technicians. Parts · 9 partner-certified ### Certified local partner A local company trained and audited by Nexus Observatory Inc., for sites we cannot reach with our own crews. Parts · 9 **04** How ordering works ## From configuration to an installed station. 1. **Configure** Choose a kit or start empty in the Station Builder. The checks flag missing antennas, ports, power and mounting points as you go. 2. **Request a quote** Send the configuration with the site and its options. You get a reference at once, and the request appears under your orders when you are signed in. 3. **Approve the quote** We confirm each line, its provider tier, price and lead time. Nothing is ordered until you approve the quote. 4. **Delivery and installation** The order moves through ordered, shipped and installed, and each change is sent to you. Field services can survey the site and install the station. Prices are indicative bands, never offers. A quote is confirmed for each site and depends on the region, the environment and the services chosen. **05** Next step ## Plan the site before you order. The Field Deployment Studio checks coverage, line of sight and power on real terrain, then hands the plan to a deployment request.
