HOPLIT
ILLUMINATED NETWORK DEVICES
OUR VISION
A More Connected World Starts Above Us.
HOPLIT is built around the idea that familiar lighting locations can also become useful network locations—bringing illumination and connectivity together in adaptable device forms.
ONE PLATFORM. MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES.
From One Light to a Connected Environment.
The same core concept can begin as a standalone illuminated-network device and grow into connected relationships when a location calls for more.
A FAMILIAR PLACE FOR A NEW KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE
Light Is Already Where People Need It.
Lighting exists along streets, around homes, across campuses, inside buildings, through parks and in many of the places people gather. HOPLIT asks whether those same useful locations can also support wireless connectivity.
Standalone When Needed
An individual device can provide lighting and networking functionality without requiring a large deployment.
Connected When the Environment Calls for It
Additional devices can participate in connected relationships as the location, test plan or future application requires.
CONNECTIVITY WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
Different Communities. Different Infrastructure. One Adaptable Concept.
HOPLIT is intended to adapt to the environment rather than force every environment into one installation model. The lighting form, network relationship and deployment approach can change while the core illuminated-network idea remains consistent.
The objective is flexibility without losing the simplicity of the core concept.
DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS. DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.
A Vision Designed to Travel.
Different climates and communities raise different questions. HOPLIT is being developed to be evaluated across representative environments rather than optimized for only one setting.
Coastal & Marine
Moisture, corrosion and exposed environments create distinct durability questions.
Remote & Recreational
Everyday Community Spaces
Conceptual imagery illustrates intended embodiments and deployment concepts and should not be interpreted as finished commercial product photography or validated performance data.
FROM ONE DEVICE TO A CONNECTED ENVIRONMENT
The Network Can Grow With the Need.
01 / START
Standalone
A single illuminated-network device can serve the immediate environment.
02 / CONNECT
Small Cluster
Additional devices can participate in connected relationships across a representative area.
03 / ADAPT
Environment
The device form and network relationship can change to fit the needs of the setting.
A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
Different Environments. Different Applications. One Adaptable Vision.
HOPLIT is being developed to explore what becomes possible when useful lighting locations can also become useful connectivity points—without limiting the concept to one place or one kind of fixture.
