Klaxoon Box

Introduction

The Klaxoon Box gives you access to all Klaxoon features in places with no connectivity, enabling you to interact in any situation.

• • What is Klaxoon Box?

    Klaxoon Box is a stand-alone unit equipped with the entire Klaxoon solution enabling you to create your activities and facilitate them:

    • Internet not required
    • Fully stand-alone
    • Offers optimal response times
    • Up to 100 participants (depending on the model of your Box)

    Moreover, the Box generates its own Wi-Fi network, making it ideal for places with little or no 3G/4G/Wi-Fi signal.

    Several sizes are available

    Several Klaxoon Boxes are available catering for various requirements in terms of participant numbers:

    • Klaxoon Box 20 with the green underside is capable of connecting with up to 20 participants (32 GB of storage)
    • Klaxoon Box 50 with the pink underside is capable of connecting with up to 50 participants (64 GB of storage)
    • Klaxoon Box 100 with the blue underside is equipped with an antenna and is capable of connecting with up to 100 participants (64 GB of storage)
