Lumin gives Boulder solar-powered WiFi
Lumin Innovative Products recently deployed its first solar-powered WiFi access points at the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado, apparently making it the first city in the US to have a solar-powered WiFi network. The first-generation LightWave AP-1000 solar-powered access point comes in both single and dual models and takes five hours of direct sunlight to fully charge, after which it'll pump out the WiFi goodness for up to 72 hours. But while Boulder's the first place to get it, Lumin thinks the real appeal for the technology is in more remote locations or during emergencies when the power's out.
