Wollongong Council NSW, Australia has partnered with Valen Energy to implement Smart infrastructure as part of their smart cities program. This includes integrated wireless phone charging solutions from Scanstrut, powered by Valen Energy’s 12V solar panel technology. The city plans to deploy these charging stations across its beach sides and surrounding suburbs, aligning with its sustainable and technology-driven vision.

The Valen Energy Powerstack was chosen by the city for its unique and visually appealing design, which contributes to the city’s sustainability objectives. The system can be deployed quickly, taking less than 30 minutes thanks to its concrete-free foundation, eliminating the need for trenching and cabling. This highly efficient and time-saving approach makes the Powerstack system a cost-effective solution.

At Scanstrut, we follow a 3-step approach to develop Qi technology for outdoor use:

  1. Low voltage 12V or 24V input power, commonly used in outdoor and mobile applications, ensuring safety and power efficiency.
  2. Waterproofing encapsulation techniques to prevent moisture penetration, providing protection for the charger, technology, phone, and user.
  3. Utilization of marine-grade materials that undergo extensive testing to withstand UV exposure and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.
