The reach

Think about how far your WiFi reaches. Now imagine this.

A standard WiFi router covers a room or two. One OutBeam box covers approximately six stories of a building, battery-powered, with no wiring required.

Standard WiFi router

Signal covers one room. Need a router, and wiring, in every unit.

One OutBeam repeater

One battery-powered repeater. Six stories of signal. No wiring needed.

The problem

Making a building smart shouldn't require a major construction project

Traditional building controls can require extensive wiring, electrical work, and weeks of installation. Even many wireless systems need routers throughout the building and frequent battery replacements. That makes smarter building technology too expensive and disruptive for many properties.

The shift

From weeks of work
to hours of installation

The traditional way

✕ Weeks to months of installation
✕ High up-front cost
✕ Miles of wiring
✕ Extensive electrical work
✕ Routers distributed on every floor
✕ Frequent battery replacements

With OutBeam

✓Installed in hours
✓A fraction of the cost
✓No wiring
✓No electrical work
✓One wireless battery-powered box every 6 stories
✓10-year battery life
