Build together with Connexin

Helping create greener, safer communities.

Your area is getting an upgrade. A new wireless network to help local services run smarter, spot water leaks early, monitor flood risks, and improve how communities are managed.

To make it happen, we’re installing small wireless gateways (aerials) in your area. They connect to sensors and collect information to help everything from water pipes 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 well-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

Viewing eye
Helping Your CommunityThe gateway connects to sensors and collect information to spot water leaks, monitor flood risks, and support local services. This helps councils and service providers respond faster, making your community safer and more resilient.
Viewing eye
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

Answer: We’re flexible and can have the equipment removed within 3 months of you providing notice. No problem!

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