Street furniture that runs on sunlight.

The Living Nodes are off-grid solar benches and umbrellas that give people shade, light, Wi-Fi and charging, and give cities live data. No trenching. No grid connection. No electricity bill.

Illustrative simulation of a v1.0 Base node.

A bench that arrives ready to work

Smart poles and charging points usually mean digging up roads, waiting for grid approvals and paying tariffs forever. A Living Node is bolted to concrete and switched on the same day.

Zero trenching, zero grid

Solar in, light and connectivity out. Heritage streets, beachfronts and parks stay untouched because there is nothing to dig.

Digital India

Free public Wi-Fi and fast USB-C charging where people actually wait.

Clean energy

Every node generates and stores its own solar power with a long-life LiFePO4 battery.

Safer streets

Dusk-to-dawn ambient lighting, and optional on-device AI for crowd and occupancy awareness.

Made in India, maintained in India

Designed and manufactured by iViRTH, a DPIIT-recognised startup, in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. First-year maintenance, cloud hosting and SIM data are included with every turnkey unit, so there are no surprise running costs.

Built for Indian streets

  • Vandal-resistant

    Powder-coated chassis, anti-theft bolts and rivet-sealed electronics.

  • Heat-safe batteries

    LiFePO4 with a built-in BMS keeps working safely through 45°C summers.

  • Weatherproof

    IP66 and IP67 enclosures, rubber-capped ports and certified earthing on grid-assist models.

  • Low-voltage safety

    The umbrellas run on 12V DC, inside the safety extra-low voltage range.

  • Local service

    Made in Uttar Pradesh, so repairs are handled by our team and not by a distant importer.
