HOPLIT
ILLUMINATED NETWORK DEVICES
TECHNOLOGY
More Than a Light. A Connected Future.
HOPLIT is designed to integrate illumination and networking capability into adaptable lighting devices for real-world environments.
TWO ESSENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES
Illumination + Networking
The concept begins with a useful light and adds networking capability within the same adaptable device platform.
TECHNOLOGY THAT CONNECTS
Two Essential Technologies. One Infrastructure.
HOPLIT is built around a practical integration concept: purposeful illumination and wireless networking capability can share the same useful device location without changing the fact that the product must first perform as a light.
LIGHTING
Illumination remains the foundation of every HOPLIT embodiment. The form, scale and placement can change with the environment.
NETWORKING
Integrated access-point and routing capability can place network functionality at those same lighting locations and allow devices to participate in broader connected relationships.
ONE CONNECTION CAN BECOME MANY CONNECTION POINTS
Connectivity That Can Extend With the Environment.
A HOPLIT installation can begin with a primary connection and extend through additional illuminated devices across the surrounding area. The exact device relationship can vary by installation without changing the core idea.
One connection. Multiple devices. A network that can grow with the environment.
WIRED. WIRELESS. ADAPTABLE.
Different Environments Can Use Different Network Paths.
01 / CONNECT
Primary Path
Where wired infrastructure is practical, a device can receive connectivity through that available path.
02 / SHARE
Wireless Relationships
Additional illuminated devices can communicate wirelessly when that relationship is more appropriate for the setting.
03 / EXTEND
Connected Environment
The network relationship can expand through multiple device locations without requiring every lighting point to operate the same way.
MORE THAN ONE KIND OF LIGHT
The Technology Is a Platform, Not a Single Fixture.
The same core illuminated-network concept can be explored across indoor, outdoor, architectural and municipal lighting forms. The fixture changes; the underlying purpose remains illumination plus connectivity.
Street & Area Lighting
Elevated, distributed lighting points in outdoor environments.
Interior Lighting
Architectural Lighting

BUILT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE
From a Single Device to a Connected Environment.
HOPLIT is pursuing practical engineering, prototype development and validation to determine how illuminated-network devices can operate independently, participate in small connected clusters and remain serviceable across real-world environments.
Wherever light is needed, there may also be an opportunity for connectivity.
