Gemalto, the world leader in digital security, today announced that it is providing M2M connectivity for SOLARKIOSK, a compact, solar powered station transported onboard a mobile vehicle. The SOLARKIOSKs produce sustainable electricity for a variety of services, including refrigerated storage for medicines as well as for consumer products.
According to Gemalto, the quick and easy to deploy SOLARKIOSK supports simple plug-in access for appliances, devices and broad range of systems. Each kiosk generates enough electricity to operate the cellular router and recharge 220 cell phones in a single day – up to 80 at the same time.
"In many parts of the world, traditional power infrastructures are difficult to set up and quickly become expensive to maintain. With SOLARKIOSK, we aspire to play a social role in meeting such Machine-for-Human challenges, whatever the geographical constraints."
- Thomas Steffen, M2M regional manager at Gemalto
