FSM Ground Services Management, the operator of Tel-O-Fun bicycle-sharing system in Tel Aviv, Israel, faced a significant challenge. The system, which sees around ten thousand journeys daily and comprises over 1700 bicycles across 170 docking stations, required each terminal to be connected to the main control center for customer identification and bike release. Additionally, these terminals needed to process payment transactions swiftly and reliably to ensure a positive customer experience. However, implementing a wired solution would have necessitated costly roadwork, council permits, and significant disruption. Furthermore, any solution had to be rugged enough to withstand Tel Aviv's harsh summer temperatures (40° C / 104° F) and high humidity levels.
