Hardware Specifications

Built for atmospheric truth.

What's inside a Climate or Air node — sensor arrays, connectivity stacks, data pipelines, and reliability targets. For pricing and purchase, see the node catalog.

Climate family
Outdoor weather

Outdoor stations capturing the canonical meteorological variables — temperature, pressure, wind, precipitation, UV. Pro-tier extends into illuminance, dew point, visibility and snow depth.

  • Up to 18 measurement primitives
  • 1 Hz sampling on Pro tier
  • 5G + LoRaWAN multi-band SIM
  • IP67 housing, UV-stable PC
Air family
Indoor IAQ

Indoor air-quality arrays for residential, commercial, and research environments. Pro tier carries the full 14-sensor research array (PM, gas, comfort, smoke, radon).

  • Up to 14 measurement primitives
  • VOC + HCHO + Radon detection on Pro
  • Wi-Fi · BLE · mesh redundancy
  • Auto-calibration vs NIST standards
01 · Sensor matrix

16 measurement primitives across two node families.

Every Climate and Air node ships a curated subset of these primitives. Each reading is signed on-device before it touches the oracle.

02 · Tier specifications

Six tiers, three duty profiles.

Climate (outdoor) and Air (indoor IAQ) ship in matching Lite / Standard / Pro tiers. Pro-grade hardware adds redundant connectivity and scientific-grade precision for research deployments.

03 · Data pipeline

From sensor to ledger in four hops.

Each reading is signed locally, batched into the oracle on Flare Coston2, and made available for downstream parametric contracts.

Step 01

On-device capture

Calibrated sensor primitives sample at the configured rate. Readings are time-stamped and hashed with the device key.

Step 02

Edge aggregation

A local mesh node batches signed packets, dedupes against neighbour readings, and forwards over Wi-Fi / 5G / LoRa.

Step 03

Oracle commit

WeatherOracle batches accept signed readings on Flare Coston2, exposing batchRecordWeather and totalRecords to consumers.

Step 04

On-chain consume

Parametric contracts (insurance, climate derivatives, carbon registries) read directly from the oracle in real time.

04 · Reliability

Hardware that survives the field.

Aerospace-grade housing, mesh redundancy, and on-device cryptography guarantee data integrity from the most exposed deployments.

Atmospheric monitoring hardware
Field-rated

IP67 + −40°C / 85°C operating envelope

Dust-tight, water-immersion rated. UV-stable polycarbonate housings, conformal-coated PCBs, and lightning-protected I/O.

Mesh redundancy

Nodes auto-form a local mesh; any single radio outage falls over to a neighbour within 800 ms.

Signed at source

Each reading is signed by the device key inside a secure element before it leaves the board.

Calibration drift

Auto-calibration cycles every 24 h reference an on-board NIST traceable standard for sub-percent drift.
