The solar benches have other functions in addition to their function as seating. The built-in solar modules supply the benches with the necessary power completely independently and provide controlled lighting in the evening hours.
True to the motto "chill-chat-charge", smart functions are also offered. The benches each have two USB charging sockets and QI charging surfaces for smartphones that support wireless charging, simply by placing them on the bench. The city of Salzgitter also offers free internet via a WIFI hotspot called freeWIFI Salzgitter on solar benches with a WIFI symbol.
To use the free WLAN freeWifiSalzgitter, select it near a solar bench with a WIFI symbol. Depending on the device you are using, the Internet browser will open automatically. If not, you will have to open it yourself. You will be taken to a page with our General Terms and Conditions. You will only be connected to the Internet free of charge once these have been accepted. The use of the WIFI is anonymized. No further user data is collected.
Use of the charging functions and the WIFI hotspot is of course at your own risk. The City of Salzgitter accepts no liability for any damage that may occur to the connected devices.
We want all citizens to be able to use the solar benches for as long as possible. We therefore ask you to handle them as carefully as possible. The benches are neither climbing objects nor places for supposed works of art. As each bench was paid for with taxpayers' money, it should certainly be in your interest to use them for as long as possible. Accordingly, we would like to point out that any willful damage to the solar benches will be reported to the police.
