Exporting 251 Wi-Fi 5 access points to not-for-profit sector (updated)

Circular Wi-Fi 5

13-12-2024: UPDATE! We have decided to partner with Sister Schools, an organization that will ship this hardware to Kenia. 251 Wi-Fi accespoints and 18 switches were donated and are now heading to 20+ schools in rural areas.

Over the last years Greatwaves has installed over a thousand access points for businesses throughout the Netherlands. Due to the high standards, interference and modern fibre connections in The Netherlands these Wi-Fi access points have a technical and financial lifespan of three to five years and have been phased out. However, they are still in good working order and are perfectly suitable for a second or even third life in less demanding environments.

When upgrading these Wi-Fi 5 access points to newer standards (Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7) we take them back from our customers. However, instead of recycling these products we are looking for a partner to give them a second life.

These can for example be used for;

  • Schools in Africa
  • Not-for-profit charities
  • Refugee camp’s
  • Rural area’s
  • Homes

What are we offering?

Greatwaves is offering the free export of 251 Wi-Fi access points to a good cause. This can not be for profit. The only thing we request is proof of installation. A video or photo will do :).

This is the hardware we currently have available:
