Technical guide for Property Managers, Homeowners' Associations, and Developers.
Modernizing common areas is often hindered by heavy technical constraints. Yet, with the explosion of home deliveries, adapting buildings has become a priority. How can you install a secure reception solution without heavy wiring work? Discover the revolution of the connected and autonomous building lobby.
1. Why electrical connection blocks your renovation projects
In most co-owned buildings, installing a traditional parcel locker is a financial drain even before purchasing the equipment. You must plan for:
- Wall trenching to bring in 220V power.
- Connection to the main electrical panel of the building's general services.
- Installation of a 4G router or Wi-Fi extension for connectivity.
- Compliance with local electrical safety standards.
These labor costs can represent up to 3 times the price of the locker itself. This is where Boks technology changes the game for building managers.
2. Boks Hub: Collective power, wireless simplicity
The Boks Hub solution has been specifically designed for collective housing. It allows parcel reception to be shared among all residents within an intelligent and fully autonomous infrastructure.
Record energy autonomy
Thanks to optimized energy management, the Boks Hub runs on batteries with an autonomy of 2 to 3 years. This means zero electrical work in your lobby. Installation consists simply of wall or floor mounting, which can be completed in under 30 minutes by any maintenance worker.
Bluetooth Smart Connectivity (No Wi-Fi)
No need for a dedicated internet subscription for the building. The system uses the Bluetooth on the delivery driver's or resident's smartphone to synchronize delivery data. It is a robust solution that works even in basements or areas with poor mobile reception.
3. Property Value and Security: Arguments for the Board Meeting
To get this project approved by the board or at the general assembly, here are the key talking points:
- Security: No more parcels lying around in the lobby or thefts linked to universal master keys. Access is encrypted and every opening is tracked.
- Aesthetics: A clutter-free lobby immediately increases the value of the property.
- Zero Work: No trenches to dig, no holes in the walls.
