Autonomous mobile connectivity retail solution for travel environments
Smart Mobile Connectivity Kiosk is a self-service unit designed for the structured sale of SIM cards and connectivity packages in airports, train stations, and tourism hubs.
It enables telecom operators and travel infrastructure owners to provide immediate access to mobile services upon arrival, through a fast and fully unattended purchase flow.
Generates additional revenue from connectivity services
Reduces queues at service desks
Operates independently of staff availability
Travel-specific impact
Especially valuable for international travellers
Improves arrival experience
Reduces language and service friction
The device body is made of 1.0–1.5 mm steel, finished with a high-durability polymer paint coating.

Every unit ships with Bobnet OS pre-integrated — the device-resident operating system that standardizes electronics control, payment processing, connectivity, and real-time telemetry. From the moment the device goes live, it is remotely accessible: administrators can configure catalog and pricing through the Backoffice Web App, field teams manage replenishment and stock via the Ops Mobile App, and end-users interact through the on-device Kiosk UI or the End-User Mobile App. There is no separate software to deploy — the platform is already there.
Operations are governed through the Chain Management System, the orchestration layer that holds business logic — assortment rules, pricing models, access policies, payment flows, and reporting — and applies it consistently across every device in the network. Monitoring runs continuously through the Technical Console, which tracks device health, transaction anomalies, connectivity status, and inventory drift, routing exceptions into actionable workflows before they become operational problems. The result is a system that stays consistent, diagnosable, and scalable whether you run one unit or a hundred.
This solution is available for deployment as a single autonomous unit — operational from day one, with no dependency on other devices. It connects to Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System independently, giving you full software visibility, cashless payments, and remote management from a single point.
Single Unit Deployment
Chain Deployment
For organizations running multiple locations or higher-volume environments, this device is also available as part of a Chain — a structured group of units operating together under unified rules, shared catalog, and coordinated telemetry. A chain removes the need to manage each unit individually: pricing, replenishment workflows, and reporting are governed centrally, while each device executes autonomously on-site.
When deployed as part of a chain, this device becomes a managed node within a coordinated operational unit. The Chain Management System assigns it to a defined group — alongside other devices of the same or complementary type — and governs the entire group under shared rules: one product catalog, one pricing model, one replenishment policy. Each device in the chain executes those rules autonomously on-site, while all data — transactions, inventory levels, health states, alerts — flows back to the same unified reporting layer. There is no need to configure or monitor each unit separately; the chain behaves as one system.
Chains are the foundation of Human Free Process and STAFF FREE Networks — the higher automation levels where multiple device types work together to cover complete operational flows without on-site staff. A single chain of this device type can handle a discrete routine end-to-end: product access, payment, receipt, and exception handling. Multiple chains, connected through Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System, can cover an entire site or a multi-location network under one operational model. The architecture is designed to grow: you start with a chain, and when the business is ready, you extend it — same platform, same rules, larger network.
Travelers purchase SIM cards or connectivity products upon arrival.

Quantified impact (per location)
Key Operational Assumptions
Operational volume
Transactions per day: 40
Staff time per transaction: 4 minutes
Operating days per year: 365
Manual workload
40 × 4 = 160 minutes / day
160 ÷ 60 = 2.67 hours / day
2.67 × 365 ≈ 974 hours / year
Automation effectiveness
Automated share: 85%
Adoption rate: 90%
Routine work eliminated
974 × 85% × 90% ≈ 745 hours / year
FTE
745 ÷ 2,000 = 0.37 FTE
Net operational impact
≈ 745 hours eliminated per year
≈ 0.37 FTE reallocated
Management outcome
Faster traveler onboarding
Higher connectivity sales
Reduced service queues
