A Guadeloupean company, SPOCONLINE ADS, has developed a new generation of solar-powered connected bus shelters. Designed to withstand tropical conditions and act as long-range communication relays, these smart passenger shelters could soon be deployed across other Caribbean territories.

The company SPOCONLINE ADS is showcasing its models of connected bus shelters. Fully energy-autonomous thanks to solar power, these pieces of smart urban furniture combine digital display screens, weather and seismic sensors, long-range IoT connectivity (LoRaWAN), and charging stations for passengers.

Urban furniture designed for Caribbean realities

These connected bus shelters do more than protect passengers from rain or sun. They have been designed for the specific challenges of Caribbean territories: heat, humidity, sea spray, as well as seismic and hurricane risks. Their reinforced construction ensures durability in demanding environments.

Public utility relays

Thanks to their long-range communication technology, these solar bus shelters become true connected information points. They broadcast schedules and service disruptions to passengers, and can also transmit alerts in the event of an earthquake or cyclone.
Local authorities can also use these shelters to collect environmental data to better manage their territories.

A regional ambition

Already deployed in Guadeloupe, the SPOCONLINE ADS connected bus shelters are set to be introduced in Martinique, Guyana, as well as in Saint Lucia, Dominica and Saint Martin. Their energy autonomy and modular design make them an exportable solution across the Caribbean. The group intends to support this development by engaging local expertise for installation, maintenance, and advertising management. This approach combines innovation, job creation, and regional cooperation.
