# Astro Rent

> Astro Rent (a division of Visuasoft BV) rents temporary internet and WiFi solutions throughout Belgium. The product family — NetPod, NetBox, NetGuard, and NetView — covers everything from compact plug-and-play routers for food trucks and pop-up shops to fully managed, multi-hundred-user networks for large festivals and construction projects. The #SOSNetwork emergency service delivers a working connection the same day. Astro Rent serves events, temporary locations, permanent backup networks, and IoT security use cases. Founded in 2022 by Filip Stas, Astro Rent designs, installs and monitors every network itself; live monitoring runs on its own platform, Stardex (UniFi, Peplink, Teltonika, Starlink and EcoFlow telemetry). In summer 2026 more than 1,000 devices were connected to Astro Rent networks, with more than 350 measured hours without internet downtime. No prices are published; every request gets a tailored quote covering equipment, travel, installation and take-down. The site is trilingual: Dutch (default, no prefix), French (/fr/), and English (/en/).
