So… What is Hublet?
The Hublet is a complete and ready-to-use self-service solution offering loanable tablets in public libraries and shared spaces.
“Self-Service and Automation at its finest!”
Hublet is an innovative solution for computing needs in shared spaces, helping to bridge the digital-divide and provide access to digital content for all. It is an automated, self-service technology which facilitates the loaning of digital devices securely and safely.
Hublet keeps your tablets organised, charged and up to date. With its cloud-based management tool, Hublet Manager, you can easily control and define tablet contents. User privacy is guaranteed with an automated data wipe after every use.

All user-specific data is automatically erased when the Hublet Tablet returns to the docking station.

Cost Effective
The Hublet system handles all the security, updates and general maintenance of the devices – No outside organisation required

Locking charge station. Pre-Defined Networks. User Authentication Methods. Accountability.
Hublet Self-Service Solution
Hublet Tablets are released from the Hublet Smart Docking Station via your user’s library card, QR code or typing in a PIN code generated by the Hublet Manager system. The content available on the tablets is easily organized by library staff, as is the configuration of fully variable profiles and content for children, adults, staff and groups. The cloud-based management software – Hublet Manager – makes it easy to update and modify the content and messaging according to feedback, requests, scheduled activities, promotions and events.
Your favorite spot in the library
Library visitors can borrow a shared tablet, take it to their favorite spot in the library and peacefully enjoy the content and access provided. When finished, they simply return the tablet to the Hublet Smart Docking Station where, automatically, all user-specific information is deleted and the Hublet Tablet is recharged for the next user. The Hublet Tablets can be locked for use in pre-defined networks, whilst the library card authentication makes sure user access can be carefully controlled. The Hublet Solution is safe for both library visitors and the library itself.
Not just a one-size-fits-all approach!
Part of the benefit of the Hublet System is its ability to cater to everybody! Multiple tablet profiles can be created for different user types and for different usage cases! This allows you to curate the content available based off what is appropriate for a specific type of user. What’s more, these profiles can be mapped to specific patron types via the LMS integration, resulting in highly personalized and safe experience for end-users!
THE HUBLET SYSTEM CONSISTS OF THREE ELEMENTS
Using the Hublet is as easy as 1-2-3
1) Scan access card
2) Enter PIN

COMPLETE TURN-KEY SOLUTION
The Hublet can be used to manage and conduct workshops, courses, out-reach programs, back office functions and access the internet easily for patrons. The Hublet is the only service combining top of the line security and management in a complete cost effective solution.
The user interface and content available on the devices is customizable, and can be scaled to provide a wide or narrow range of functionality to suit your shared space.
From basic internet browsing, to guided tours for museum exhibitions, the system is a perfect fit when you need portable devices ready to go.
SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK
The ability to just go and get a tablet to work with, without needing staff intervention, ensures privacy and ease of access. For people who are vulnerable, homeless, who live in shelters or simply can’t afford to have their own devices, the ability to come in to their library, grab a tablet without having to “ask permission” and find their favourite chair is very empowering. Its more than getting access to the internet and a device – its about belonging.
The Hublet system has been a useful addition to our library service, allowing customers without their own pertable device to access web browsing, video-conferencing, games and more! Easy to borrow, and easy to customize for our community’s needs. Luke at Reface industries has always been very responsive to all of our question, and has gone above and beyond in providing training and assistance to employees new to the hublet configuration.
Alice and the fantastic team at the City of Marion Libraries have created this short promotional video for their patrons! Great work!
