BE TRULY CONNECTED.

HOW IT WORKS.

01

GETTING STARTED

Replace existing lightbulbs in key locations of your home with C-Surf bulbs.  Then simply switch them on.

03

FINISHING TOUCHES

Mount the C-Cover onto the existing switch and test to ensure all bulbs are connected.

​

You may now watch cat videos in all rooms.

02

CONNECT WITH THE APP 

Download the app. Search for home WiFi  network and enter the password. Scan the QR code on the box of the C-Surf. Confirm settings.

Watch the video to see a user's C-Surf experience.

THE PACKAGE.

1. C-SURF

C-Surf's lightbulb internal design can be based on C-Life/Sleep with addons of a WiFi module and antennas. For further cost savings,

WiFi + Bluetooth chipset can be considered.

2. C-COVER

A trickle of power in the background is needed for WiFi to be connected even when the lightbulb is switched off. The C-Cover separates the physical switch to turn the lights on and off while leaving the WiFi and Bluetooth on at all times. 

 

C-Cover is a Bluetooth-enabled “cover” that fits over the existing wall-mounted switch.  C-Cover comes pre-paired in the box with a C-Surf for easier user setup experience. It can also be used for any existing C-Life/ Sleep products.

3. C BY GE APP

The existing C by GE app can be updated to include C-Surf. This allows the user to quickly configure their network and bulbs that they wish to connect by WiFi. 

 

QR codes are provided on the box to simplify searching for and adding new bulbs.

TECHNICAL 

CONSIDERATIONS.

USERS NEED THIS

Many homes suffer from WiFi deadzones. The traditional solution is to use WiFi range extenders, but finding a good position with power socket nearby is often challenging.

 

Furthermore, the setup procedure is quite technical. This is too daunting for most people

WHY IT'S AWESOME

LED light bulbs are an ideal device to incorporate WiFi range extenders. They are placed in a central position in rooms, and have power supply already. The WiFi range extender essentially becomes invisible! 

IT SAVES COST

C-Surf uses a Bluetooth + WiFi combo chip to bring down the cost of adding on the WiFi function.

Problem Statement

Team

Imagine what C-Surf can do for rural communities where WiFi connection is a privilege and only available within a tiny radius.

 

C-Surf can be produced in other form factors to fit into existing fluorescent lighting fixtures. By fitting C-Surf bulbs in shared areas such schools, offices and other shared facilities, many more people can have access to the internet when it matters.

POOR CONNECTIVITY

IS A PROBLEM.

Most people take WiFi for granted and must be connected at all times, but too many people suffer from poor WiFi reception at home. Ranges of current routers are limited and signal strength is rarely spread evenly throughout the home.

 

Solutions exist, but these tend to be ugly, clunky and need to be placed at inconvenient locations. Setting it up is a hassle too; non-engineers have no idea how to do it themselves.

​

​

The C-Surf brings WiFi access to anywhere in your home without unsightly hardware and complicated procedures. It is an enhancement built into GE's C by GE LED bulbs.

​

By adding a router module to GE's bulbs, the bulbs can serve as a booster for WiFi signals around the house. 

 

By reimagining an item which is found in every room, WiFi is now truly invisible.
