Smart Kiosks for Smart Cities

The HootBoard Outdoor Glide is built to withstand both the elements and high-traffic use that comes with being an outdoor kiosk. The kiosk is outfitted with an outer shell that is both waterproof and dust-proof and comes with a double-layer outer shell to protect the touchscreen itself from vandals. The Outdoor Glide is permanently installed through a poured concrete base and secured with screws/bolts and is a locked case to ensure safety and protection. There is an additional protective layer in the form of high-penetrating, 5-8mm tempered glass with an anti-wear texture meant for outdoor use. The Outdoor Glide is thoroughly tested against inclement weather (-14°F up to 122°F) and against high use but of course, we know that you can’t predict what might happen so we do recommend insurance.

Though we expect for the kiosk to withstand weather conditions that come along with extreme weather, we also recommend insuring your kiosks against extreme weather and acts of God just to be safe.

We have over 1,000 integrations that are possible via third-party partners and our kiosks also work with many different types of peripherals like cameras, printers, and card readers. We also have a peripherals API that can help accommodate other solutions. Can you tell me a little bit about what you are looking to do?
