Modular Quick-Release
Patented mechanical mechanical coupling allows wearers to detach smart electronic temples and snap them onto different frame fronts within seconds—without tools.
Enterprise Modular Solution
Redefining Smart Eyewear Versatility
Developed by MIT-trained optical engineers with 100+ global patents and patent applications, SmartHinge™ solves the primary bottleneck in smart eyewear adoption: rigid frame design and high SKU inventory risks.
Lower Inventory Risk
Optical retailers and distributors stock a single core set of electronic temples while offering extensive style choices across prescription opticals, sunglasses, and performance sport frames.
Prescription-Ready Glazing
All SmartHinge™ front frames accommodate standard Rx lenses, progressive optics, blue-light filters, and photochromic light-adaptive lenses from any licensed optical lab.
Engineering Excellence
SmartHinge™ Technical Specifications
Precision-engineered Pogo-pin connectors and high-durability alloy hinges guarantee robust signal transmission and mechanical endurance under daily commercial use.
1. High-Cycle Mechanical Test
Tested to withstand over 10,000 detachment cycles. Heavy-duty titanium alloy hinges prevent structural fatigue during frequent frame swaps.
2. Weatherproof IP54 Seal
Integrated silicone gaskets shield contact pins against sweat, dust, and rain, preserving audio clarity and camera data integrity during outdoor workouts.
3. Universal Pin-Array Interface
Standardized electrical contact layout enables seamless power and control signal communication across AirGo™ V2, AirGo™ A5, AirGo™ V, and AirGo™ 3 lineups.

Commercial Procurement FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions for Buyers
Key information for optical distributors, chain buyers, and system integrators considering SmartHinge™ technology.
How does SmartHinge™ reduce inventory management overhead for optical retailers?
SmartHinge™ decouples smart electronics from frame style. Retailers only need to carry a core stock of AirGo™ smart temples and can offer a wide selection of lower-cost front frames (eyeglasses, sunglasses, sport wraps), dramatically reducing capital tie-up and SKU obsolescence.
Can local optical laboratories glaze prescription lenses into SmartHinge™ front frames?
Yes. SmartHinge™ front frames are manufactured using standard optical-grade materials (TR90, acetate, metal alloys). Licensed opticians and lab technicians can glaze single vision, progressive, photochromic, or blue-blocking lenses using standard edging machinery.
What OEM / ODM options are available for SmartHinge™ frame fronts?
Solos® provides comprehensive OEM/ODM services for bulk orders. We can design, mold, and supply custom front frame geometries, bespoke colorways, and private-label branding while utilizing our standardized SmartHinge™ temple interface.
What is the durability and lifespan of the SmartHinge™ mechanical connection?
SmartHinge™ connectors undergo rigorous stress testing exceeding 10,000 insertion cycles. Corrosion-resistant gold-plated Pogo pins ensure reliable electrical signal transmission and audio fidelity over years of daily wear.
