Build together with Connexin

Helping create greener, safer communities.

Your area is getting an upgrade: a new wireless network designed to support local services and help your community run smoothly and more sustainably.

To make it happen, we’re installing small wireless gateways (aerials) in your area. They connect to sensors and collect real-time data to help everything from utilities to public services work more efficiently.

Wherever we can, we use existing streetlights or buildings to install them. But sometimes, those spots aren’t suitable. So, we’re inviting residents like you to get involved by hosting a gateway at home.

By hosting, you’re helping bring this new network to life, reducing the need for extra street furniture or new telegraph poles, and keeping your area looking great.

This project is part of a wider plan to improve digital infrastructure across the UK. We’re working closely with your local council to make sure installations are quick, safe, and clearly communicated at every step.

Together, we’re building smarter, more connected communities.

Small Device, Big Reward

Just one small gateway on your property brings big benefits for you.

Get £250 every year for up to 15 years just for hosting a small, quiet gateway on your home. Payments start within 30 days, and continue as long as the device is in place. A simple way to get paid while helping your community.

Simple. Long-term. Worth it.

Why Hosting Matters

Helping Your CommunityThe gateway connects to sensors to collect real-time data to monitor things like air quality, noise pollution, and public assets. This helps councils and service providers respond faster, making your community safer and more sustainable.

Preserve Your NeighbourhoodResidential gateways mean we don’t need to put up extra poles or street furniture. This keeps streets and public spaces clear and tidy, while still building essential infrastructure and supporting important local services.

Hassle-Free from Start to FinishYou don’t need to lift a finger. Connexin and our trusted partners take care of installation, maintenance, and even temporary removal if needed (like during roof work). Just let us know and we’ll sort it.

Small, Safe, and Out of Sight

The gateway is a compact, low-power device that sits quietly on your home. It’s smaller than a shoebox, with a slim antenna, and is designed to blend in while running safely and reliably for years. There are no cameras, microphones, or moving parts, and it makes no noise or bright lights, just a tiny status LED.

This isn’t 5G or broadband. It uses a low-power radio signal called LoRaWAN®, similar in strength to a car key fob, and well below UK and World Health Organisation safety limits.

How To Host a Gateway

Get In TouchIf you’re interested in hosting or have any questions, please reach out by emailing us at [email protected]. There’s no obligation, we’re happy to provide the info you need.

Suitability CheckWe’ll check if your home’s location fits the network’s needs (height and position are key for the radio signals). We may arrange a quick site visit to confirm placement, decide the best mounting spot, and answer any remaining questions.

Sign The AgreementYou’ll be asked to sign a simple hosting agreement giving us permission to install and maintain the gateway. It clearly outlines responsibilities and ensures your payments are protected — no invoicing needed.

Quick & Easy InstallationInstallation is quick and tidy. Our accredited team will visit at a time that suits you, fit the gateway, and run a small cable into your home for power. No mess, no disruption.

Enjoy the BenefitsOnce it’s up and running, the gateway takes care of itself. You’ll receive your reward within 30 days: £250 a year for up to 15 years as long as the gateway stays in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the gateway safe?

Answer: Yes! The device uses LoRaWAN® technology, a form of low-power radio. Much lower than standard Wi-Fi and equal to a car key fob transmitter. It meets strict UK safety standards and operates at a fraction of the allowed limits.

Is it collecting personal data?

Answer: No. It has no camera or microphone; it only relays fully encrypted signals from smart sensors like water meters. Those signals contain data readings and Device IDs, no names or addresses.

Will it impact the value of my property? 

Answer: It’s small, discreet, and non-intrusive, similar to a satellite dish or TV aerial. If a potential home buyer objects, it can also be easily removed.

How much power does it use and will this cost me?

Answer: The gateway uses around 61 kWh of electricity per year – roughly £20. Your annual reward for hosting will more than cover this cost.
