As an OOH network becomes denser, the remaining coverage gaps are often the hardest to solve. Outdoor space may be unavailable because of planning restrictions, landlord requirements, protected city-centre architecture or a simple lack of suitable frontage. At the same time, former kiosks, small stores and service units are becoming available in locations where customers already live, work and travel.

Installing a conventional outdoor-grade locker inside such a unit means paying for weather resistance, exterior lighting and other features that the location does not require. Modern Expo’s Indoor Locker is engineered specifically for enclosed environments and can reduce the hardware cost by up to 30% compared with a comparable outdoor solution.*

• Its modular construction supports straight, L-shaped and U-shaped arrangements, allowing the operator to use walls and corners efficiently.
• The solution can support the full range of parcel processes, while QR- and NFC-based access control can restrict entry to authorised customers.
• The system can also be configured for additional services such as luggage storage, increasing the usefulness of the location for residents, travellers or building tenants.

By reducing the cost of the machine, the Indoor Locker helps compensate for the higher rent typically associated with indoor space. It allows operators to enter areas that would otherwise remain outside the network and close important coverage gaps without using outdoor-grade CAPEX in an indoor environment.
