Soluxio Connect: High-end solar WiFi hotspot and enterprise class mobile networks
Unique solar powered mobile internet access
The Soluxio Connect solar powered WiFi access point makes wireless internet truly wireless. Use the Soluxio for the industrial or commercial sector. Powerful WiFi mesh networking powered by advanced solar technology, all integrated in a single elegant solar column, makes it the perfect solution for camping, smart-cities, parks and more. Do you want to create an outdoor (public) WiFi network with large area coverage using an existing (wired) internet connection? Or do you need an enterprise solar powered WiFi hotspot on a location with no grid or internet connection? Then, the Soluxio Connect is the solar WiFi pole suitable for your business or organisation.
Soluxio Connect is a fully autonomous, high-end enterprise class WiFi access point. It can be coupled to an existing internet connection over WiFi and serve as a range extender to provide extended area coverage. When placed in a location without access to an internet connection, the Soluxio solar mobile network and WiFi access point can be equipped with a 4G cellular mobile router (e.g. 4G or 5G cellular or satellite) that connects to the internet wirelessly.
No cabling means quick and simple installation. (Re)moving the Soluxio Connect is easy.
The vertical orientation takes up little space and causes the solar panels to be self-cleaning.
Unlimited scalability and full autonomy result in unparalleled system flexibility.
Zero CO2 emission during operational life due to 100% renewable energy.
Flexible outdoor network, solar powered
The Soluxio Connect offers ultimate flexibility and autonomy in outdoor networking. Because the solar mobile network and WiFi hotspot can be set up without installing any type of power cabling, installation is quick, easy and non-invasive. That is why the Soluxio Connect is the ideal solution for resorts, campings, airports, railway stations or city parks. From a single pole for a family camping to a network of hundreds of poles with thousands of users, the mesh network topology allows for unlimited network scaling.
There are two versions of the Soluxio Connect. The Soluxio Connect solar powered WiFi hotspot is the solution when an existing DSL, cable or fibre internet connection needs to be extended wirelessly over an area. This allows for the creation of large, fast WiFi networks with thousands of users. When no (wired) internet connection is available, the Soluxio Connect solar mobile network AP (Access Point) is the answer. The integrated 4G LTE mobile router allows you to turn any location into a WiFi hotspot.
