One remote location
Jousto Pole
A possible starting point for smaller distributed infrastructure requirements such as power, communications, Wi-Fi, CCTV, lighting or monitoring.
Jousto industry solutions
Remote accommodation solutions
Put accommodation where the grid isn’t.
Power. Internet. Security. Water. Automation. Jousto helps Hipcamp hosts, station stays, farm stays, campgrounds, glamping operators and remote cabin owners create infrastructure where conventional power and communications may be difficult or expensive.

Why Jousto is relevant
Start with the way your property actually operates
- Build a practical brief around the loads, distances, access and operating conditions at the site
- Bring power, communications, security, water and local control into one conversation
- Explore Pole, Trailer / Skid and Container pathways where distributed or relocatable infrastructure matters
Choose a starting point
What would you like to improve?
Choose the closest operator problem. You can refine the brief with Jousto before any equipment, system size or rollout is assumed.

Scale the site around the way it operates
From one cabin to an entire remote property
A Jousto project does not need to be a large commercial installation. A single Hipcamp site, glamping tent, farm stay or remote cabin may have the same fundamental infrastructure questions as a larger rural tourism property.
Cabin or campsite
Jousto Skid / Trailer
A modular or movable pathway to assess when more solar, storage or equipment capacity is needed.
Larger remote site
Jousto Container
A larger modular platform to consider for generation, storage, distribution, communications, equipment or monitoring.
These are consultation-led pathways, not a promise that every site needs every function. The appropriate scale depends on the actual brief.
Small operator, real infrastructure
Start small. Plan for what the property may become.
No convenient grid connection, weak communications, remote monitoring, difficult water access, security, lighting and equipment power can affect one cabin just as they can an entire remote property.
- Hipcamp, glamping, farm-stay or eco-accommodation operators are welcome
- Describe the first cabin or campsite, not only the end-state vision
- Let the site brief determine the appropriate scale of solution
The operating context
Why remote accommodation infrastructure is different
Accommodation combines a guest-facing experience with behind-the-scenes infrastructure. The useful question is not only what equipment to buy—it is what the property needs to keep doing, where, and when.
Distance changes the design question
Remote buildings, campsites, gates, pumps and communications points may be separated by difficult terrain, long cable runs or limited access.
The site may need to keep working
Guest services, refrigeration, water, safety, communications and monitoring need priorities that reflect the consequences of an interruption.
Weather and access shape operations
A solution needs to be considered around servicing, transport, seasonal conditions, wildlife, security and the practical realities of getting equipment to site.
Relevant options
Build the brief around the property—not a generic package
Commercial solar and batteries remain part of the conversation, alongside the remote, communications, security, water, lighting, EV and monitoring pathways relevant to this property.

Explore pathwayPower + Comms + Compute
The foundation behind a connected accommodation site
Power + Comms + Compute is a practical way to frame a remote stay. Generate, store and distribute energy; connect guests, staff and assets; then monitor or automate the systems that need local control.
Power
Solar, batteries, backup priorities and distribution for accommodation, water, security and essential services.
Comms
Connectivity for guests, staff, sensors, cameras, alerts and remote visibility where site access is limited.
Compute
Local processing, automation and control for cameras, sensors and connected remote assets.
Practical starting points
Where these conversations can lead
01
Hipcamp, glamping or one remote cabin
Start with the first guest site and the immediate needs for power, internet, water, lighting, security or equipment—without needing to describe a large commercial project.
02
Station stay, farm stay or campground
Consider how cabins, amenities, campsites, access points, pumps and shared services can be powered, connected and monitored across the property.
03
Eco accommodation or growing rural tourism site
Explore Pole, Trailer / Skid and Container pathways where infrastructure may need to scale, move or operate away from a conventional building connection.
How Jousto works
A clear next step, without pretending the property is generic
Tell us what you are trying to improve. Jousto helps turn that context into an appropriate quote, assessment or specialist project pathway.
01
Tell us about the property
Share the site, operating context and the problem you most want to improve.
02
Get an initial assessment
Start with the existing Jousto quote or project conversation that best matches the brief.
03
Explore suitable options
Separate the immediate priority from possible future stages across the property.
04
Verify the requirements
Review the available data, site constraints and services that need to keep operating.
05
Determine the right pathway
Let the project requirements guide the technology, scale and delivery approach.
06
Receive the next step
Move to a proposal or specialist connection where appropriate, without an assumed outcome.
Prefer to preserve capital?
Finance or a PPA may be discussed for some projects, but remote-site suitability is never assumed. Provider terms, ownership, access, maintenance, approvals and the actual site brief need to be reviewed before any commercial pathway is considered.

Frequently asked questions
Can a cabin operate without a grid connection?+
Potentially. The loads, seasonal use, solar access, battery requirements, backup priorities, location and servicing arrangements all need to be assessed before a system can be specified.
How do you get internet to a remote site?+
The appropriate communications pathway may involve 4G / 5G, Wi-Fi, Starlink or other networking where available and suitable. Coverage, backhaul, power and terrain need to be reviewed.
Can off-grid CCTV run continuously?+
It may be possible with a properly assessed power, storage and communications setup. Camera load, recording, lighting, weather, solar access and required uptime all affect the design.
Can tanks and pumps be monitored remotely?+
Yes, pumping, tank monitoring, sensors and communications can be discussed as part of the site brief. The practical approach depends on distances, connectivity, control requirements and servicing.
What are Pole, Trailer / Skid and Container pathways?+
They are consultation-led infrastructure pathways for focused or all-around field coverage, portable or relocatable deployments, and containerised projects. The appropriate format depends on the site and application.
Can we start small and expand later?+
That can be an important project objective. Start with the first location and likely future stages so the initial assessment can consider what may need to scale without promising a particular expansion path.
