Loop Global has announced the launch of Infinity Link, a charging technology designed to enable electric vehicle (EV) charging sessions in environments with limited or no network connectivity.
The system allows drivers to initiate and complete charging sessions without relying on real-time cellular or internet access, addressing a common reliability challenge in EV charging infrastructure.
Infinity Link enables chargers to operate independently of continuous network connectivity by allowing local authorization and session control. Drivers can start charging even if the charger or their mobile device is offline, while session data, receipts, and operational metrics are synchronized once connectivity is restored.
This approach is intended to improve charger availability and reduce downtime in locations such as underground garages, remote sites, and areas with inconsistent cellular coverage.
With Infinity Link, drivers and site hosts can expect:
- Seamless offline charging with the Loop mobile app, allowing drivers to initiate charging sessions even when the charger or their phone has no network connectivity. Authorization is automatically granted for approved users without additional setup.
- Quick activation and instant receipts, with chargers activating immediately upon request and users receiving charging receipts, even when the station is offline.
- Remote monitoring for site hosts through Loop’s customer portal, providing visibility into offline charger status and enabling identification and resolution of persistent connectivity issues without impacting driver experience.
- Advanced security and fraud protection using encrypted communication and fraud detection logic to ensure only authorized drivers and chargers operate while offline.
- Compatibility with most existing chargers on Loop’s network, enabling Infinity Link without hardware retrofits.
Infinity Link is intended to support higher charger uptime and consistent user experience across a wide range of deployment environments, while maintaining data visibility and operational oversight for site hosts and operators.
