Real-time information about the variation of the surface velocity, magnetic field, and intensity in different layers of the solar atmosphere is an essential input to fundamental solar physics and space weather prediction. There is consensus that a worldwide distributed network of small, dedicated telescopes that observe the entire solar disk is needed to obtain these data continuously. In this contribution, we will report on the current status of designing the Solar Physics Research Integrated Network Group (SPRING). The key scientific products of this facility will be arc-second resolution images of the Sun in various wavelengths, synoptic vector magnetic fields, synoptic surface velocity fields with high time cadence, and observations of transient events such as flares. As a development platform towards SPRING, we present the Tautenburg Solar Laboraty (TauSoL), which is a new installation.
