Abstract: A system for supplying energy is provided. The system comprises a shelter for users of an outdoor recreational area. The shelter has a roof portion and photovoltaic cells disposed on the roof portion, the photovoltaic cells being arranged to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The system also comprises an energy distribution system arranged to receive converted electrical energy from the photovoltaic cells, and to receive grid electrical energy from a power distribution network. The energy distribution system is arranged to provide converted electrical energy to an electrically powered component of the system at times when there is sufficient converted electrical energy to power the component, and to provide grid electrical energy to the component at times when there is insufficient converted electrical energy to power the component.

Abstract: There is provided a communications system (10) comprising a plurality of base stations (12), a central station (16) and a fibre optic communications network (14). Each base station (12) comprises a shelter (20) for a passenger awaiting transport, the shelter (20) having a wireless network access point (22). The central station (16) is arranged to facilitate communication between each base station (12) and a communications network (18) and the fibre optic communications network (14) is arranged to facilitate communication between each base station (12) and the central station (16).

The system (10) also comprises an energy distribution system (18) arranged to receive electrical energy from the photovoltaic cells (16) and to provide the electrical energy to at least one electrically powered component (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34) of the system (10).

Abstract: A system and method for providing multiple service set identifiers (SSIDs) in a single access point is disclosed. The system within the single access point comprises a network management module, a virtual access point creation module and a data traffic handling module. The virtual access point creation module creates multiple virtual access points each represented by a unique SSID. The network management module provides at least one tunnel to accommodate the multiple virtual access points. The data traffic handling module receives and redirects data from the multiple virtual access points to and from the at least one tunnel.
