Build the Next Generation of Smart City Infrastructure
Solar Outdoor Media works with municipalities, brands, convenience stores, retail chains, shopping streets, malls, universities, high schools, venue operators, mobility platforms, real estate owners, and strategic partners to deploy cleaner, smarter, and more connected public spaces.
From convenience stores and campuses to concerts, public parks, bus stops, waterfronts, beaches, lakes, rivers, shopping districts, and high-traffic urban areas, the Solar Wi-Fi Eco Bin® can operate wherever a public receptacle belongs.
Our platform supports recycling at the source — connecting public-space waste points with smart recycling, public Wi-Fi, IoT-enabled visibility, citizen communication, and Sustainable DOOH, programmatic advertisement.
Beyond new Solar Wi-Fi Eco Bin® deployments, Solar Outdoor Media can also advise, evaluate, and support the digital transformation of suitable existing trash cans, recycling bins, and public receptacles with lids through sensors, connectivity, and SOM WasteOS-style data intelligence, where technically feasible.
As a consulting and deployment partner, Solar Outdoor Media helps public and private stakeholders assess locations, define smart waste and recycling strategies, evaluate receptacle infrastructure, plan sensorization, and connect public-space assets to data-driven circular economy and communication models.
