Abstract:
Device installation systems, methods, and media for providing ubiquitous connectivity in outdoor environments are provided. In some embodiments, a device installation system comprises: a host connector that includes a controller, a host power subsystem, a host communication subsystem, and a lock; and a client connector that is connected to a client device and that is connected to the host connector, wherein the client connector includes a client power subsystem, a client communication subsystem, and a latch; wherein the host power subsystem is connected to a power source, the client power subsystem is charged by the host power subsystem of the host connector, and the client power subsystem transmits power to the client device; wherein the controller is configured to transmit a locking instruction to the lock that causes the lock of the host connector to actuate with the latch of the client connector; and wherein the client communication subsystem is configured to communicate with the client device such that data from the client device can be communicated over a communications network.
