    Die notwendige Elektronik ist in einer wetterfesten "Safebox" von Bachmann gekapselt. Für eine dauerhafte Aufstellung sind professionellere Gehäuse zu verwenden, jedoch für diese Demonstrationsstation standen die leichte Handhabbarkeit und der einfache Zugang zum System im Vordergrund.

    Die Safebox enthält die folgenden Komponenten

    • Ende des Stromkabels mit einer 3-fach Steckerleiste
    • professioneller GPRS-Router inklusive einer flatrate SIM Karte für geringes Datenvolumen und eine externe Antenne
    • Bifferboard-basierender Meteoplug-Client (als Dual-USB Version)
    • "direct connect kit" von smartbedded, um die Vantage Pro2 Sensoreinheit anschließen zu können
    • Toradex OAK USB Barometermodul (hier eingebettet in einen Plastikschlauch)
    • rotes Ethernet-Kabel zum Anschluß des Meteoplug-Clients an den Router
    • Steckernetzteile für den Meteoplug-Client (5 Volt) und den Router (12 Volt)
