No Power, No 4G Connection — No Problem!

Accurate visitor counting is a critical input for operational planning, facility cleaning schedules, and business intelligence across sectors, including tourism, facilities management and urban planning. Yet many sites — outdoor entrances, public pathways, remote facilities, temporary installations, or public toilets — lack stable mains power and network connectivity. Traditionally, this has limited the deployment of people counting systems that rely on fixed wiring or cellular data.

Enter the USB People Counters from EvolvePlus — a battery-powered, fully standalone people counting solution designed for environments where no mains power, no local network, and no 4G connection are available. Its simplicity, portability and robust data handling make it ideal for indoor and outdoor footfall measurement irrespective of site infrastructure.

Power and Connectivity Freedom

Unlike conventional people counters that require power outlets or network access, the USB People Counter operates entirely on battery power. This removes barriers associated with mains power installation, particularly in:

For organisations seeking to install people counter sensors on a 4G mobile network rather than their corporate network, or for those placing footfall sensors at offsite locations with only power and 4G coverage, EvolvePlus offers people counters with integrated 4G mobile broadband connectivity.

Our 4G-enabled people counters include:

• Battery-Powered Wireless Solution: This features a sensor gateway with integrated 4G and is available in both indoor and outdoor models.
• Overhead ToF (Time of Flight) Counter: Equipped with onboard 4G and IP65 protection, this model is suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

These counters are easy to implement in various settings, from retail stores to public libraries, public toilets to park entrances, ensuring reliable performance wherever needed through 4G connectivity.
