Why IP65 Rating is the Lifeline of Your Smart City Information Kiosk

2026,01,08

The Hidden Enemy of Outdoor Electronics

In my years of consulting for smart city projects, I’ve seen beautiful digital terminals turn into "black screens" just months after installation. The reason? It’s rarely a software glitch; it’s almost always environmental ingress.

When you deploy a Smart City Information Kiosk, you are placing high-end electronics in a battle against dust, rain, and humidity. Today, I want to explain why we treat the IP65 rating not as an "option," but as the lifeline of our equipment.

Understanding the Standard: What Does IP65 Truly Mean?

For a Public Utility Service Booth, the "IP65" label is a promise of survival. Many buyers confuse IP54 with IP65, but in the field, the difference is massive.

Dust-Tight (The '6'): Complete protection against dust contact. In an urban environment, fine dust can settle on circuit boards, causing overheating or short circuits. Our TZH series is vacuum-sealed to prevent this.

Water-Jet Proof (The '5'): Protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This means during a heavy storm or when the city uses high-pressure hoses to clean the streets, your kiosk remains bone-dry inside.

The Science of Anti-corrosion in Urban Environments

Water isn't the only threat. If your project is in a coastal city or a region that uses salt for de-icing in winter, corrosion is your silent profit-killer.

When we manufacture an Anti-corrosion Public Utility Service Booth, we don't just use standard paint. We utilize a multi-stage coating process:

Zinc-rich primer for electrochemical protection.

Outdoor-grade powder coating that resists UV rays and chemical erosion.

Marine-grade stainless steel fasteners to ensure the structure stays solid for 10+ years.

Protection Comparison: Standard Kiosk vs. Our Toncom Series

Feature	Standard Information Kiosk	Our Toncom Series
Ingress Protection	IP54 (Splash-proof)	IP65 (Water-jet proof)
Sealing Material	Standard Rubber	Automotive-grade EPDM Gaskets
Surface Treatment	Basic Spray Paint	Zinc-rich Primer + Anti-UV Powder
Ventilation	Open Vents (Dust risk)	Closed-loop Cooling with Dust Filters

Lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

I always tell my clients: "A cheaper kiosk without proper sealing is a liability, not an asset." Every time a technician has to go out to clean dust from a screen or repair a water-damaged board, your ROI drops. By choosing an IP65 Waterproof Smart City Information Kiosk, you are choosing a "set-and-forget" solution that serves the public reliably for years.

Conclusion: Built for the Real World

At our factory, we don't just build Kiosks; we build urban reliability. Whether it’s a transit hub or a seaside park, our Public Utility Service Booths are engineered to withstand the elements so you can focus on serving your community.
